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
- Type or paste the text you want to hash.
- Choose a hash algorithm from the dropdown.
- 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.
