How to use Folder Integrity Checker
- Select the files or folder you want to process.
- Review the options and click Process files.
- Check the result summary, then download the generated output when available.
What this tool does
Create a SHA-256 folder manifest or compare selected folder contents against an existing JSON manifest. It reads actual file names, paths, metadata, and bytes where the task requires them.
Processing and privacy
Processing happens locally in your browser. The page does not upload your selected files. Closing or resetting the page clears its working state.
Supported inputs and limits
Modern desktop browsers work best. Available memory, browser file limits, and operating-system naming rules may limit very large batches. Results are new downloads; originals are never silently changed.
Practical example
Select a small test batch first, confirm the preview or report, and then repeat the same settings with the full set. This makes naming and integrity jobs easier to audit.
Tips
- Keep a backup before reorganizing important files.
- Open generated archives and reports once before deleting any source copy.
- Use consistent names and checksum manifests when sharing a collection.

No. File contents are processed locally in your browser by the page.
What happens to the original files?
The tool never edits originals on disk. It creates a new download or a local inspection report.
