MD5 Checker

Files are verified by your computer when launched, or whenever a download is done. Complex algorithms are used to determine unique file keys known as checksums, so if a single binary value is different for a file, although functionality is the same, checksums differ. To help with file verification, MD5 Checker can scan multiple items at a time, and save results to file.

Every file has its own hash code, which is calculated with these types of applications. Although there are various other algorithms, this application specializes itself in MD5 checksums, just as the name points out. Accommodation is a walk in the park, with the interface being clean, and easy to comprehend from the first few seconds in.

Adding files can’t be done by dropping them over the main window. However, browse options make it easy to select one or more files, or even an entire directory for its content. All files on the list are verified, with a table showing name, and corresponding MD5 code.

Unfortunately, you can’t copy a checksum to clipboard directly, but there’s a good reason behind this. The application has other export options, so it reserves the clipboard slot for the comparison component. With a checked file selected, MD5 checksum lying in the clipboard is shown in a dedicated field, with info letting you know whether the two match or not.

As far as export options are concerned, these can come in handy later on, since supported formats are pretty common, and popular. As such, all checksums in the list can be saved as TXT, HTML, or CSV, with the document automatically showing up on screen so you can copy values if necessary.

On an ending note, MD5 Checker is sure to come in handy for tasks when files you’re working with need to be in perfect condition. An entire folder can be analyzed at a time, with other operations in the same sessions adding files and checksums to the list so they can be exported to one of several popular formats.
