About this tool
Select or drop any file to instantly compute its cryptographic hash using the browser's built-in Web Crypto API. The file is read locally — nothing is uploaded to a server.
Use cases
- Verify a downloaded file matches the publisher's checksum
- Check two files are identical without opening them
- Generate a hash for integrity metadata (e.g.
integrityattributes, release notes)
Algorithms
- SHA-256 — most common for file verification
- SHA-512 — stronger, used in security-sensitive contexts
- SHA-384 — common for Subresource Integrity (SRI)
- SHA-1 — legacy; avoid for security purposes, shown for compatibility
