About this tool

Computes SHA-256 (via your browser's Web Crypto API) and MD5 digests of any text or file, the standard way to verify a download against a published checksum or to fingerprint a file.

Because hashing is local you can safely checksum sensitive files; the bytes never leave your machine. MD5 is provided for legacy checksums only, don't use it for anything security-critical.

How it works

  1. Paste your input, or drop a text file onto the box.
  2. The output updates live as you type.
  3. Copy it to the clipboard, or download it as a file.
