About this tool

Compute a SHA-256 hash of any string — for verifying checksums, comparing values, generating deterministic IDs or learning how hashing works. The hash appears as you type, alongside SHA-1, SHA-384 and SHA-512.

Hashing uses the browser's built-in Web Crypto API; the input never leaves your device. To hash a file rather than text, use the File Checksum Verifier.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste text into the input.
  2. All four hashes update live as you type.
  3. Click a hash to copy it.

Frequently asked questions

Can SHA-256 be reversed?

No. It is a one-way function. Matching a hash to an input is only possible by guessing inputs, which is why long random passwords are safe even when only their hash leaks.

Is SHA-256 secure?

Yes, it is the current standard for integrity checks, TLS certificates and Bitcoin. SHA-1 and MD5 are not.
