Frequently Asked Questions

What hash algorithms are supported?
This tool supports SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. These are all part of the Web Crypto API and run natively in your browser.
Is my data safe when generating hashes?
Yes. All hashing happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No data is ever sent to a server.
What is the difference between SHA-256 and SHA-512?
SHA-256 produces a 256-bit (64 character hex) hash while SHA-512 produces a 512-bit (128 character hex) hash. SHA-512 offers a larger output size but both are considered cryptographically secure.
Can I use this to hash passwords?
SHA hashes alone are not recommended for password storage. For passwords, use a dedicated password hashing algorithm like bcrypt or Argon2. This tool is useful for checksums, data integrity verification, and general-purpose hashing.
