Hash Generator

Checksum a file or hash a string without it ever leaving your machine.

Free foreverNo uploadsNo account
Hashes are computed locally with the Web Crypto API — your text and files are never uploaded.
MD5
SHA-1
SHA-256
SHA-384
SHA-512
MD5 and SHA-1 are shown for checksums and legacy compatibility — use SHA-256 or stronger for anything security-sensitive.

Your privacy matters

All files are processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers, so your documents remain private and secure.

01 · Real-world fits

Common use cases

  • Verifying a downloaded file against a published SHA-256 checksum
  • Generating cache keys or content fingerprints during development
  • Comparing two files quickly by their digests
  • Producing MD5 sums for legacy systems that still require them
  • Hashing strings while debugging webhook signatures
02 · The honest pitch

Why Hash Generator?

Hashing on a website usually means pasting your content into someone else's server. Here the SHA family runs on the browser's built-in Web Crypto API and MD5 runs as local JavaScript — the bytes never leave your device, which matters when the thing you're checksumming is a private build artifact or licensed download.

Hash Generator keeps the job narrow: checksum a file or hash a string without it ever leaving your machine. It is built for the small but frequent moments when opening a heavyweight editor, installing a package, or uploading sensitive work to a random service is more friction than the task deserves.
