Hash Generator

Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes in your browser.

Runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device

About this tool

A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of your input — change a single character and the output changes completely. This tool computes SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 at once as you type, using the browser's built-in Web Crypto API.

Use it to verify file/text integrity, compare checksums, or generate deterministic keys. Everything is computed locally — your input never leaves your device.

Why use it

SHA-1 to SHA-512

Computes four digests at once with the Web Crypto API.

Deterministic

Identical input always yields the same hash, ideal for verification.

Local

Hashing runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

Common use cases

  • Verify text or file integrity
  • Compare a checksum
  • Generate a deterministic key
  • Check a value against a known hash

Frequently asked questions

Where is the hash computed?

Entirely in your browser via the Web Crypto API (crypto.subtle). Nothing you type is sent to a server.

Why is there no MD5?

MD5 is cryptographically broken and isn't supported by the browser's secure crypto API. For integrity or security use SHA-256 or stronger.

Which algorithm should I use?

SHA-256 is the modern default for most needs. Use SHA-384/512 when you want a longer digest; SHA-1 is provided only for legacy compatibility.

Does the same input always give the same hash?

Yes. Hashing is deterministic — identical input always produces an identical digest, which is what makes it useful for verification.
