Hash Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes (SHA-256, SHA-1, MD5, and more) from text using Web Crypto in your browser. Create checksums for files-as-text, compare digests, and copy hex output. Hashing never leaves the tab, so test strings and secrets stay private.

About this tool

Hash text or a local file with MD5 (SparkMD5), SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512. SHA family uses Web Crypto; output is hex and Base64. File hashing reads an ArrayBuffer in the tab. The file is not uploaded to a checksum SaaS.

How to use: paste a string or choose a file, pick an algorithm, copy hex or Base64. Checksum fixtures, compare downloads you already have, and fingerprint strings for cache keys. MD5 and SHA-1 are offered for compatibility, not for new password storage.

Example: hashing 'hello' with SHA-256 yields the well-known hex digest you can match against a unit test. A local ISO image can be fingerprinted without leaving the machine.

Digests are computed on-device. Source strings and files never leave the tab. Related: Base64 encoder for transport, password generator if you needed a secret rather than a digest. Copy hex for git-style checksums and Base64 when an API wants that alphabet. After the page loads you can keep hashing offline.
