Hash Generator

Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes of any text using the browser's Web Crypto API. Useful for checksums and integrity checks — nothing is uploaded.

Runs 100% in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Hashes computed locally via the Web Crypto API. (MD5 is intentionally omitted — it's insecure and not supported by the browser crypto API.)

About the Hash Generator

A cryptographic hash function turns any input into a fixed-length string of characters. The same input always produces the same hash, but you can't reverse a hash back into the original data. Hashes are used for verifying file integrity, checksums, and data fingerprinting.

This tool generates SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes of any text using your browser's built-in Web Crypto API — nothing is uploaded.

Features

  • Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes
  • Powered by the standard Web Crypto API
  • Instant as you type, fully client-side
  • Copy any hash with one click

How to use

  1. Type or paste the text you want to hash.
  2. All four hashes are computed instantly.
  3. Copy the algorithm you need.

Frequently asked questions

Why is MD5 not included?

MD5 is cryptographically broken and unsafe for security purposes, and the browser's Web Crypto API doesn't support it. SHA-256 or higher is recommended.

Can I reverse a hash?

No. Cryptographic hashes are one-way functions by design. The only way to 'reverse' one is to guess inputs and hash them until you find a match.
