MX MD5 Calculator

MX MD5 Calculator is an intuitive piece of software designed to calculate and compare the MD5 checksums of files, in order to verify their integrity.

If the hashes don't match, it means that the two files are different. For example, one of them can be modified, corrupt or incompletely downloaded from the Internet.

Setting it up takes minimal time and effort, since there are no unfamiliar buttons displayed in the wizard. However, it needs .NET Framework to work properly, so you should make sure you have this platform installed.

As far as the interface is concerned, MX MD5 Calculator adopts a standard window with a simple design and well-structured layout, where you can browse for a file located in a local, network or removable drive in order to calculate its MD5 signature with the click of a button.

This alphanumerical value can be copied to the Clipboard. Moreover, you can paste the MD5 hash of a second file or point it out on the disk, in order to calculate the two values and find out if the files are identical or different.

When it comes to program settings, you can instruct the utility to automatically copy the signatures to the Clipboard when the calculation is done, integrate it into the Windows Explorer right-click menu to be able to seamlessly process any file, as well as enable or disable audio alerts.

It didn't put a strain on the computer's performance in our tests, thanks to the fact that it needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. Unfortunately, we failed in our attempt to get it up and running on later Windows versions, probably because it hasn't received updates for a long time and has compatibility issues.

To sum it up, MX MD5 Calculator facilitates a user-friendly interface and approachable options to help you verify the integrity of any two files by calculating and comparing their MD5 checksums. It can be seamlessly handled by all types of users.
