Hash Generator

The Hash Generator computes SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests of any text using your browser’s built-in cryptography. Use it to verify file integrity, compare checksums, or generate deterministic fingerprints — all live as you type, with nothing uploaded.

Computes SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 checksums of your text using your browser’s built-in cryptography — nothing is uploaded. Hashes update live as you type. (SHA-1 is shown for legacy compatibility; use SHA-256 or higher for security.)

How This Tool Works

Type or paste text and the SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests appear instantly. Click Copy next to any algorithm to copy its hash.

Formula & Method

A cryptographic hash function maps any input to a fixed-length hexadecimal digest. The same input always produces the same hash, while even a tiny change produces a completely different one — which is what makes hashes useful for integrity checks and fingerprints.

Example Calculation

Hashing “The quick brown fox” with SHA-256 always yields the same 64-character digest — change a single letter and the entire hash changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which algorithms are supported?+

SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 — all computed with your browser’s SubtleCrypto API. MD5 isn’t included because it isn’t supported natively and is considered insecure.

Is my text sent to a server?+

No — hashing happens entirely in your browser, so your input never leaves your device.

Should I use SHA-1?+

Only for legacy compatibility. SHA-1 is no longer considered collision-resistant, so use SHA-256 or higher for anything security-related.
