Hash Generator
Calculate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 checksums for text or a local file, right in your browser.
About this tool
Checksums are calculated with the browser’s built-in Web Crypto API. Text is hashed as UTF-8; files are read locally and never uploaded (up to 100 MB).
A checksum lets you confirm that a download or a copy of a file is identical to the original: if even one byte differs, the hash changes completely.
Good to know
- MD5 is intentionally not offered — it is broken for security purposes. Prefer SHA-256 or stronger.
- Hashes are not encryption and are not suitable for storing passwords on their own.
