ToolHash Generator

Before you start

Type or paste text and get a live digest. Useful for checksums and fingerprinting strings. Prefer SHA-256 for new work; SHA-1 remains for legacy checks.

  • Choose SHA-256 or SHA-1.
  • Paste the text to hash.

While it runs

  • Copy the hex digest.

Questions

Do I need an account?
No. Guests can hash text freely.
Is this encryption?
No. Hashing is one-way. Do not use it as a password vault.
Which algorithm should I pick?
Use SHA-256 for new checksums. Use SHA-1 only when a system still expects it.
Can I reverse a hash?
No. A hash is a fingerprint, not recoverable plaintext.
Is it free?
Yes.
