Hash Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes of any text using the Web Crypto API. Pick your algorithm and get a hex digest instantly — useful for integrity checks and fingerprints.

Examples

Input

hello (SHA-256)

Output

2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824

How it works

Your text is converted to UTF-8 bytes and hashed with the browser’s built-in Web Crypto API. The digest is shown in lowercase hexadecimal.

Digest size by algorithm
Algorithm	Bytes	Hex characters
SHA-1	20	40
SHA-256	32	64
SHA-384	48	96
SHA-512	64	128

The hash covers exactly what is in the box. One extra space or a line break at the end produces a completely different digest, which is the usual reason two hashes of “the same” text do not match. The tool hashes text, not files. SHA-1 is included for checking old values only; it is no longer safe for security use.

Frequently asked questions

Why is MD5 not offered?

MD5 is broken for security purposes and the Web Crypto API does not support it. We offer SHA-2 family algorithms instead.

How do I generate an SHA-256 hash online?

Paste your text into the SHA-256 Generator, click Hash, and the 64-character hex digest appears instantly and privately in your browser.

What is SHA-256 used for?

SHA-256 is the standard for checksums and integrity verification. It is used to confirm a downloaded file matches its published digest and to fingerprint data without risking the original.

Is this SHA-256 generator private?

Yes. Hashing runs entirely in your browser with the Web Crypto API, so your input never leaves your device.
