Frequently Asked Questions About Online Calculators

Are folders uploaded?

No. Directory and ZIP entries are read in the browser; there is no server upload step.

Does it compare binary files semantically?

No. Binary files are compared by byte hash, while small text-like files can show a short preview of the changed content.

Will my original file be changed?

The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Folder and ZIP inventory diff.

What should I check before using the result?

Open the Folder and ZIP inventory diff in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.
