Hash Generator
The Hash Generator computes cryptographic hashes from any input text directly in your browser using the Web Crypto SubtleCrypto API. Select SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 and the tool instantly returns the corresponding hex digest. Useful for verifying file integrity, building cache keys, generating stable IDs, password storage (use bcrypt / Argon2 for passwords), database sharding, comparing data, and validating webhook signatures. All processing stays local.
How to Use
To use the Hash Generator, simply open the tool page and interact with the controls in the panel above. The interactive panel handles input and produces instant results entirely in your browser — no signup, no upload. Use the Copy button when you want to transfer the output to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hash files?
Currently only text input is supported. Hashing binary files requires the File API; we plan to add this shortly.
Is hashing reversible?
No. SHA algorithms are one-way. The original input cannot be recovered from a hash.
Is SHA-1 secure?
SHA-1 has known collisions and is no longer recommended for security-sensitive uses. Prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512.
Can I generate HMAC?
No, only plain hashes here. We may add HMAC support based on the same crypto API in the future.
Is my input uploaded?
No. Hashes are computed in your browser through window.crypto.subtle.digest.
