Hash Generator
Paste any text and get its SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hex digest, computed with the browser's native cryptographic functions.
Overview
Hashing produces a fixed-length, deterministic fingerprint of input text — the same input always produces the same hash, and even a one-character change produces a completely different one. That makes hashes useful for checksums (confirming a file or string wasn't altered), for comparing two values without revealing either, and for generating stable identifiers from arbitrary text.

How It Works
- Paste the text you want to hash into the input box.
- Choose an algorithm — SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512.
- Click Generate to see the hex digest, ready to copy.
FAQ
No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser using the native Web Crypto API — nothing you type is transmitted anywhere.
Browsers' native Web Crypto API doesn't implement MD5, and it's considered cryptographically broken. SHA-256 is the recommended modern default.
No. A plain hash without salting and a slow key-derivation function (like bcrypt or Argon2) is unsafe for password storage — this tool is for checksums and general-purpose hashing, not authentication.
SHA-256 is the standard default for most checksum and integrity-check use cases — it balances output length and collision resistance well for general purposes.
