About this tool

A browser-local file hash utility. Compute a SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 hash for a local file.

Common uses

  • Check the integrity of a download, build artifact, or backup.
  • Compare a file with a SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 digest.

How to use it

  1. 1.Choose a local file and select SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512.
  2. 2.Review the file digest and copy it if needed.

Limits and notes

  • The file is read into browser memory at once; very large files may exceed device limits, and SHA-1 is for compatibility only.

Frequently asked questions

Is the file uploaded to a server?

No. It is read and hashed only in the current browser.

Which algorithm should I choose?

Choose SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new work; use SHA-1 only when a target format requires it.
