Generate SHA-256 hashes from text or files

Input

What is Hash Generator SHA-256?

A SHA-256 hash generator produces a 256-bit (64-character hex) cryptographic digest. SHA-256 is widely used for password storage verification, blockchain proof-of-work, digital signatures, and file integrity checks.

How to use

  1. Step 1 — Enter text or select a file to hash its contents using SHA-256.
  2. Step 2 — The hash is computed locally on your device via the Web Crypto API.
  3. Step 3 — Copy the 64-character hex digest or paste an expected hash to compare.

Result

Before deploying a firmware update, verify the SHA-256 digest matches the manufacturer's published value to ensure the binary hasn't been tampered with.
