This site hosts no Mines files. If you have one, see how a file is checked on your phone, including values printed with capitals and colons.

Worked example, not your file. A tiny made-up file stands in for an app file here, so you can see what the result looks like. Choose your own file above and this is replaced.

mines-example.apk is 47 bytes here (a real app file is millions of bytes, but the method is the same). The publisher’s value was printed in capital letters with colons and a SHA256 label. The checker ignores all of that, so the result is still Matches.

A Mines game download can be a full app, a copy of one or something that only borrows the name. Whatever it is, you can check the file you hold. The checker reads it on your device, works out the fingerprint and compares it with the one printed by the publisher, ignoring capitals, spaces and colons.

In the example the publisher’s value was printed in capitals with colons and a SHA256 label, the way some tools show it. The checker ignores that formatting, so the result for mines-example.apk is still Matches.

The checker is free, needs no sign-in and reads your file on your own phone.

A match shows the file is unchanged, not that the publisher or the app is fine. Check where the file came from too.

Common questions

Which file is the Mines game?

We cannot say. Mines is a game that several apps offer, and a file with that name can come from any of them or from a copy. This site hosts no files, so check any file you have before you install it.

Does the way the fingerprint is written matter?

No. Capital or small letters, spaces, colons, dashes and a leading SHA256 label are all ignored. What matters is that the 64 characters 0 to 9 and a to f are all there and in order.

What does a matching fingerprint prove?

Only that your file is identical to the one the fingerprint was printed for. It says nothing about who made it, what the app does once it runs, or whether it is the newest version.

Where should the publisher’s fingerprint come from?

From a second place, not the page or chat that gave you the file. If one source hands you both, whoever swapped the file could have swapped the number too, and a match shows only that the download arrived whole.

Does the file I choose leave my phone?

No. Your browser reads the file on your own device and works out the fingerprint there. Nothing is sent to this site or anywhere else, and nothing is stored.
