What This Tool Does
This browser-based tool uses the Web Crypto API to calculate hashes from text input or uploaded files and returns hexadecimal digest output.
MV ToolsText tool
Online SHA Hash Generator
Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes for text or files directly in your browser.
Online SHA Hash Generator for Text and Files
Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes locally in your browser for text, files, checksums, and integrity checks.
Common Use Cases
- Generating SHA-256 hashes for test payloads
- Checking file digests before sharing or comparing files
- Creating hash values for logs, fixtures, scripts, or development workflows
How Data Is Handled
Hash generation runs locally in your browser. Text and files are not uploaded to the backend.
FAQ
Which hash algorithms are supported?
The tool supports SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 using the browser Web Crypto API. SHA-256 or SHA-512 are usually better choices for current workflows.
Does this support file hashing?
Yes. Files are read in your browser and are not uploaded to MV Tools.
Is a hash encryption?
No. A hash is a one-way digest, not reversible encryption.
