How to use Hash & Checksum Generator

Choose text input or a local file.
Select SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 and generate the digest.
Copy the digest or compare it with a checksum from a trusted source.

Try an example

What to know before using Hash & Checksum Generator

Choose text or a file and select a SHA algorithm. Text is encoded as UTF-8, including whitespace and line breaks. Any file type up to 50 MB is supported. Compare the result against a trusted checksum to check integrity. Hashing is one-way and does not encrypt input; these fast hashes are not password-storage algorithms. Files are read locally and are never uploaded.
