Turn any folder into a detailed, exportable list of files — in seconds. List every photo, video, document, or file on your Mac, then export it to Excel, PDF, CSV, HTML, JSON, or Markdown. The simple way to catalog, inventory, and document your files. Just select a folder — or drag and drop files — to get a complete list of every file and folder, ready to export. Choose whether to include files from all subfolders, preview and edit the list before saving, and search or filter the records instantly. Need only certain files? List a specific kind — for example, all the audio files in your Music library, or every PDF in your Documents folder. Export an Excel file with picture thumbnails to get a visual index of all your photos.

Last update:
Version 3.1 adds the most-requested feature yet — duplicate detection: • Find duplicate files — spot files with identical contents anywhere in your scan, and see exactly how much space the extra copies waste. Files are matched on their contents, not their names, so renamed copies are found too. • Remove the extras safely — keep the newest copy, the oldest, or the one nearest the top folder, and send the rest to the Bin. One copy of every set is always kept, and every file stays recoverable. • A Duplicate Group column that sorts, filters, and carries into every export format. • Print your list directly (Command-P) — the printout matches the PDF export exactly, with page setup and printer choice. • Much faster on large folders — folder sizes are calculated in a fraction of the time, and scrolling long lists is smoother. • Scanning now shows how many files are done, how many remain, and roughly how long is left. • Several memory leaks fixed. Thanks for using File List Export!
