About MD5 Generator - File Hasher
Generate, verify, compare, and export cryptographic checksums on your Mac — supporting SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1, and MD5 with batch processing, folder comparison, and professional manifest export.
MD5 Generator is the complete checksum utility for developers, sysadmins, and anyone who needs fast, reliable file integrity checks. Four powerful modes in one native macOS app — no command line required.
GENERATE
● Multi-Algorithm Hashing — Choose SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1, or MD5.
● Real-Time Text Hashing — Type any text and see the hash update instantly.
● Batch File Hashing — Import up to 100 files via drag-and-drop and hash them all at once.
● One-Click Copy — Copy individual hashes, all hashes, or text hash to clipboard.
● Reveal in Finder — Jump to any hashed file directly from the results list.
VERIFY
● Single File Verification — Paste an expected hash and verify any file against it.
● Checksum File Support — Import .md5, .sha1, .sha256, or .sha512 checksum files (BSD and GNU coreutils formats).
● Auto-Detection — Algorithm is detected automatically from file extension or hash length.
● Match / Mismatch / Missing — Color-coded results with summary counts.
COMPARE
● Two-File Comparison — Import two files and instantly see if they are identical or different, with full hash digests.
● Folder Comparison — Compare entire directories recursively. See which files are identical, different, only in Folder A, or only in Folder B.
● Swap — Quickly swap File A and File B without re-importing.
MANIFEST
● Generate Manifests — Hash files and export checksums in four formats: Plain Text (BSD), GNU Coreutils, CSV, or JSON.
● Live Preview — See the rendered manifest before exporting.
● One-Click Export — Save the manifest file to any directory on your Mac.
SESSION HISTORY
● Recent Sessions — Every completed operation is saved (up to 50 records) with mode, algorithm, timestamp, and summary.
● Quick Restore — Tap any session to restore the mode and algorithm settings.
INSPECTOR PANEL
● Always-Visible Settings — Algorithm picker, digest length, and security classification are always visible in the right panel.
● Security Labels — SHA-256 and SHA-512 are marked Recommended; SHA-1 is Legacy; MD5 is Insecure.
