Hash Generator

Generate a SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 hash from any text instantly, using your browser's built-in cryptographic engine.

Your files are processed locally in your browser. They are not uploaded to our servers.

How to use

  1. Type or paste the text you want to hash.
  2. Choose a hash algorithm from the dropdown.
  3. Copy the resulting hash with one click.

What is this tool?

Hash Generator computes a cryptographic hash of any text you enter using your browser's native Web Crypto API. It supports the SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 algorithms and updates the hash instantly as you type or switch algorithms — nothing is sent to a server.

Common uses

  • Verifying that a file or message wasn't altered by comparing hashes
  • Generating checksums for developers and system administrators
  • Learning how different hash algorithms produce different outputs
  • Creating a quick fingerprint of a piece of text

FAQ

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The hash is computed entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API — your text is never sent to a server.

Why isn't MD5 available?

MD5 is cryptographically broken and isn't supported by browsers' native Web Crypto API, so this tool focuses on the modern SHA family instead.

Which algorithm should I use?

SHA-256 is the most common general-purpose choice; use SHA-384 or SHA-512 if you need a longer hash, or SHA-1 only for compatibility with older systems.
