Policemen usually use DNA fingerprinting to identify criminals, things are same in computer field, each different file has an unique fingerprint( MD5 hash value ), MD5 checker is the type of software that is used to calculate and verify the MD5 hash value of a specified file or folder. You can use MD5 checker to verify the integrity of an installer you’ve just downloaded from the internet, or compare the files on your work computer with the files on your external backup hard drive. Below are 5 best MD5 checker we’ve chosen for you:
