Key Capabilities

Computed in Your Browser

Uses the Web Crypto API on your device. The text you hash is never uploaded.

SHA-2 Family

SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 with lowercase hexadecimal output as one continuous string.

UTF-8 Text

Text is hashed as UTF-8 bytes, so results match other tools for the same text, in any language.

No Weak Hashes

MD5 and SHA-1 are deliberately left out because they are not safe for security use.

100% Client-Side Processing

When you use Hash Generator, your data never leaves your browser. All transformations execute in-memory on your local machine with zero server uploads. Web assets are downloaded to run the tool, but your input data is never transmitted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the text I hash sent to a server?

No. The hash is computed by your browser's Web Crypto API. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored. The page does download the code needed to run the tool.

Is hashing the same as encryption?

No. A hash is a one-way fingerprint: you cannot get the text back from it, and it is not a way to keep text secret.

Why are MD5 and SHA-1 missing?

Both are broken for security purposes. This tool offers the SHA-2 family only. If you need a legacy checksum for compatibility, use a dedicated tool.

Why does hashing need a secure page?

Browsers expose the Web Crypto API only on HTTPS pages and localhost. If it is unavailable, the tool says so.
