File Hash Generator & Checker — SHA-256

File Hash Generator & Checker — SHA-256

Generate SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 for a file and check an expected checksum.

How to use

Choose a file and algorithm. Optionally paste the checksum from a trusted source. Process, then review MATCH or MISMATCH and copy the hash.

Limitations

50 MB per file. Modern HTTPS browser with Web Crypto required. Hashes verify bytes against a reference, not whether a file is safe or malware-free. Use the same algorithm and a trusted expected hash. MD5 and SHA-1 are not included.

Privacy

Files and text are processed locally in the browser; they are not uploaded to the server.

FAQ

Does renaming a file change its hash?

No. Only file contents are hashed; the filename is not.

What if one byte changes?

The calculated hash will normally change.

Can I paste an uppercase hash?

Yes. Uppercase and lowercase hexadecimal hashes are treated equally.
