How to use File Integrity Manifest Creator

  1. Add the requested files or choose a folder.
  2. Review the options and the displayed queue.
  3. Select Create Manifest, inspect the result, and download the generated JSON.

What this file tool does

The creator reads every selected file, computes a real Web Crypto digest, and saves a versioned integrity manifest.

Hash actual bytes, normalize relative paths, sort entries, and serialize a versioned JSON manifest.

Hashing is local but still reads every byte. Large folders can take time and may consume significant browser memory.

Supported inputs and limits

The tool works with files exposed through the browser picker. Actual limits depend on available device memory and browser support.

Example and practical tips

Practical example

Create a manifest before copying a photo archive, then verify the destination against it later.

Tips

  • Keep an untouched copy of important source files.
  • Review the result list before using the download.
  • For large batches, test a small sample first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I create a SHA-256 manifest for a folder?

Choose the folder, select SHA-256, and download the generated JSON manifest.

Does the manifest contain my file contents?

No. It stores paths, sizes, dates, and hashes, not the file bytes.

Can I use SHA-512 instead of SHA-256?

Yes. SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are available.

Will changing a file name change verification?

Yes when paths are preserved, because the manifest matches entries by their recorded path.

Can a manifest restore a damaged file?

No. It can detect a mismatch but cannot reconstruct missing or changed bytes.
