What this file tool does

Match SHA-256 content across different folders to identify files that moved without changing. The result is derived from the file bytes, metadata, or paths actually supplied in this session.

The page uses the File API, Blob output, Web Crypto, and native compression streams where the task requires them.

Files remain on this device. Browser tools cannot inspect files you did not select, change the originals silently, or provide a permanent security guarantee.

Supported inputs and limits

Use ordinary files, folder selections, or a JSON baseline manifest as indicated above. Device memory, browser limits, and format constraints still apply.

Input	Handling
Selected files	Read locally
Result	New downloadable Blob
Privacy	No server upload

Example and practical tips

For example, run moved file detector by hash on a small representative batch first. Confirm the output matches your expectations before processing a large folder.

Keep a copy of important originals.
Use stable relative paths in backup manifests.
Review flagged results instead of treating them as automatic proof.

Frequently asked questions

Does moved file detector by hash upload my files?

No. Processing runs locally in the browser, and the page does not send selected files to a server.

What happens with very large files?

Browser memory and device limits still apply. Close other heavy tabs and process smaller batches if the page runs short of memory.

Can I trust the report as a malware scan?

No. This tool reports specific file signals or comparisons; it does not replace antivirus or professional forensic software.

Will the original files be changed?

No. The page reads files you explicitly select and creates a separate downloadable result.

Which browsers work best?

A current Chromium, Firefox, or Safari release is recommended. Native compression features are required for TGZ operations.
