How mant bits long is an MD5 hash? I'm sure I read that it was 128 bits, but can it vary

How mant bits long is an MD5 hash? I'm sure I read that it was
128 bits, but can it vary?

From a quick look at some documents via Google, I believe it's always
128 bits.

An MD5 hash will never vary. It will always be 128 bits or 32 characters or
16 bytes depending on what form you are using it in.
