Hash Generator
The Hash Generator computes SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hashes of any text you type or paste, giving you the hex digest instantly. Developers use it to verify checksums, generate cache keys, or double-check that two pieces of text produce the same hash without writing a script.
The hashing itself is performed by your browser's built-in cryptography API, so the text being hashed is never sent to a server — everything stays local, which makes it fine to hash things like passwords or tokens for quick verification.
How to Use the Hash Generator
- Open the Hash Generator tool.
- Paste or type the text you want to hash.
- Select a hash algorithm — SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512.
- Copy the resulting hex digest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which hash algorithms does this tool support?
It supports SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512, all computed using your browser's native Web Crypto API.
Is it safe to hash sensitive text like a password here?
Yes — hashing happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API, so the input text is never transmitted to a server.
Why would I use SHA-256 instead of SHA-1?
SHA-1 is considered cryptographically weak and prone to collisions, so SHA-256 or a stronger variant is generally recommended for anything beyond simple checksums.
