📖 Tool Introduction

The File List Generator is a completely free, instant-use online file inventory tool. When you need to hand over a bundle of materials to a colleague, tidy up the attachments inside a project folder, or send a client a delivery manifest, manually copying filenames and sizes one by one is slow and error-prone. This tool removes the whole chore: simply drag files from a folder into your browser (or click to pick them), and the tool instantly reads each file's name, extension and size locally, presenting a clean table with index, name, type badge and size, while three stat chips at the top keep a live tally of total files, total bytes and distinct types. Once the list looks right, you can copy it as tab-separated text in one click, or export a BOM-prefixed CSV that opens cleanly in Excel, plus a plain TXT version. Because the tool only reads filename and size metadata and never opens file contents, even sensitive documents can be used without worry. All processing happens entirely in your browser, so files are never uploaded to any server. The interface is available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English, follows the website theme colours automatically, and works smoothly on both desktop and mobile. A built-in example loads a realistic seven-file project sample so you can see the table, the summary chips and both export formats in a single click. Sizes are humanised across B, KB, MB and GB, while the CSV still keeps the raw byte count in a dedicated column for sorting. Adding more files later simply appends rows to the existing list, and clearing starts a fresh batch. No registration, no installation and no network requests - just drop files in and export.

✨ Key Features

• Batch add: drag or pick, up to hundreds of files at once, appended automatically
• Clean table: index, name, type badge and size columns with zebra striping
• Live stats: chips at the top show file count, total size and type count
• Dual export: CSV with BOM for Excel, plain TXT for pasting anywhere
• Smart sizes: B / KB / MB / GB auto-scaled, CSV keeps raw byte counts
• Private by design: only metadata is read; contents are never touched or uploaded

📝 How to Use

1. Drop files into the dashed box, or click it to pick multiple files
2. Review the name, type and size columns; the top chips update automatically
3. Add more files any time by dropping again or clicking Add Files
4. Click Copy Text for a tab-separated list, or export CSV / TXT
5. Click Clear List to start a fresh batch

⚠️ Notes

• Metadata only: filenames, extensions and sizes are read; contents are never opened
• No recursion: plain file picking does not walk subfolders; use the tree tool for directory structures
• CSV encoding: exported CSV carries a UTF-8 BOM so Chinese text opens correctly in Excel on Windows
• Browser limits: batch size and total bytes depend on browser memory; split very large batches
• Ordering: rows follow the order you add files; lists can be extended and cleared freely
