Hash generator
Create deterministic digests for checking content integrity. General-purpose hashes are not a password-storage scheme.
How to use Hash generatorSteps, privacy & next steps
Calculate a deterministic digest from exact local content.
Run this check
- Paste text or choose a local file.
- Use SHA-256 or stronger for a new integrity use; select a legacy checksum only for an existing compatibility requirement.
- Compare the generated digest against a value from an independently trusted source.
What you need
- Exact UTF-8 text or local file bytes, with no normalization.
Your input & privacy
Content is hashed in browser memory and is not uploaded. Export only results you intend to share.
Read the result
Use the hex digest to compare exact bytes. Use the SRI tool for a browser integrity attribute and a password-specific algorithm for stored passwords.
Keep in mind
- MD5 and SHA-1 have collision weaknesses and are labeled for legacy, non-security checksums only.
- A digest is not encryption, a trust decision or a password-storage scheme.
