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.

- 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.
