MD5 Generator: Hash files with SHA-256 for Mac

What MD5 Generator does

Hash up to 100 files at once
Drag up to 100 files into the app and hash them all in one run. Choose SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 or MD5 for the whole batch.
Verify a file against a checksum
Paste an expected hash to check one file, or import a .md5, .sha1, .sha256 or .sha512 checksum file. Results show Match, Mismatch or Missing.
Compare two folders recursively
Compare two directories and see which files are identical, different, or only in Folder A or Folder B.
Export a manifest in four formats
Hash files and save the checksums as Plain Text (BSD), GNU Coreutils, CSV or JSON. Preview the manifest before you export it.
Hash text as you type
Type or paste text into the Text tab and the hash updates with each change.

Step 1 of 5

Step 2 of 5
Import your files
Drag files into the window or use the file picker.
Step 3 of 5
Select the algorithm
Set the hash algorithm in the right-hand inspector panel.
Step 4 of 5
Run and review
Run the operation and read the results in the list.
Step 5 of 5
Copy or export
Copy the hashes, export the manifest or verify the file.

Which algorithms does it support?

SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 and MD5. The inspector labels SHA-256 and SHA-512 as Recommended, SHA-1 as Legacy and MD5 as Insecure.

Which checksum file formats can it read?

Plain .md5, .sha1, .sha256 and .sha512 checksum files in BSD and GNU coreutils formats.

Does it change my original files?

No. The app reads files to compute hashes and writes only the manifest or report you export.
