What is a hash generator?
A hash generator creates deterministic fingerprints (checksums) for any input. Use it to verify downloads, detect changes, and compare text or files. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Supported algorithms
- SHA-256: recommended default for integrity checks.
- SHA-384 / SHA-512: longer digests for higher collision resistance.
- SHA-1: legacy; avoid for security-sensitive use.
How to use
- Select text or file input, then paste text or upload a file.
- Pick an algorithm and (optionally) uppercase output in Settings.
- Copy the hex result to share or compare.
Best practices
- Publish expected hashes alongside downloads so users can verify integrity.
- Keep casing consistent when comparing hex outputs.
- For passwords or secrets, use a slow, salted KDF (bcrypt, scrypt, Argon2) instead of plain hashes.
