How to use it
- Choose a file (or switch to Text) and the algorithms you need.
- Wait a moment. Hashes appear as soon as they are calculated.
- Paste the published checksum to see whether it matches.
Examples
- SHA-256 of an empty input:
e3b0c442…b855 - MD5 of
abc:900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72
Use SHA-256 or stronger to verify downloads. MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for spotting accidental corruption but are not secure against deliberate tampering. A hash identifies file contents, not its name or date. Files up to 1 GB are supported.
