Hash Generator
Generate SHA hashes for text or local files directly in your browser. Generate SHA hashes for text or local files directly in your browser, then copy the digest in hex or Base64 format.

All hashing runs locally in your browser with Web Crypto.
Compare mode ignores letter case and extra spaces when you paste an expected digest.

Digest comparison
Paste an expected digest to compare.
Useful for checking release checksums, downloaded assets, and known reference hashes without leaving the page.
Why this gets reused
Hashing comes up in release checks, checksum comparisons, token experiments, and quick data verification.
Text and file modes cover the two most common real-world cases without opening another desktop app.
Hex and Base64 outputs make the result easier to match against docs, APIs, and existing tooling.
Built-in comparison makes the tool useful even when you already have a reference hash and only need a fast yes-or-no check.
Strong first-use cases
Checking whether a downloaded file matches an expected checksum.
Hashing plain text, API payloads, or secrets during local debugging.
Generating SHA digests to compare outputs across different systems.
