Type or paste text to generate its SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes, computed with your browser's built-in cryptographic functions.
A hash function turns any input into a fixed-length string of characters. The same input always produces the same hash, but even a tiny change to the input produces a completely different result — which is why hashes are used to verify file integrity, store password fingerprints, and detect tampering. SHA-256 and SHA-512 are currently considered cryptographically strong; SHA-1 is included for compatibility with older systems but is no longer considered secure against determined attackers.
