Cryptographic hashes are one-way functions used for data integrity verification, password storage, digital signatures, and checksums. This tool generates hashes using the Web Crypto API built into modern browsers, ensuring cryptographic-grade output.

Choose from SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. The output is provided in both hexadecimal and Base64 formats. Everything runs in your browser with no data sent to any server.

FAQ

Why no MD5?

The Web Crypto API does not support MD5. MD5 is also considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes.

Is SHA-256 secure?

Yes. SHA-256 is part of the SHA-2 family and is widely used in TLS, Bitcoin, and other security protocols. It is considered secure for all practical purposes.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The Web Crypto API processes everything locally in your browser.
