Secure SHA Hash Generator: SHA-256, SHA-512 & More
Generate cryptographically secure hex fingerprints for your text data using the industry-standard SHA family of algorithms.
How to use the Hash Generator:
- Type the text you want to hash into the input field.
- The SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes update automatically.
- Use the Copy buttons to grab the specific hash you need.
What is a SHA-256 hash used for?
Hashing is essential for verifying data integrity. A SHA-256 hash creates a unique 64-character signature for any piece of data. If even one character in the source changes, the hash will be completely different. This tool is vital for developers checking file integrity, verifying API signatures, or securely comparing sensitive strings without storing the original text.
