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
hello (SHA-256)

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.
| 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
MD5 is broken for security purposes and the Web Crypto API does not support it. We offer SHA-2 family algorithms instead.
Paste your text into the SHA-256 Generator, click Hash, and the 64-character hex digest appears instantly and privately in your browser.
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.
Yes. Hashing runs entirely in your browser with the Web Crypto API, so your input never leaves your device.
