કેવી રીતે વાપરવું
- Choose Text to hash something you type or paste, or File to hash a file from your device.
- Type the text (hashes update as you type) or drop a file. Large files show a progress percentage while they're read.
- Read the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and CRC32 values. Switch between Hex and Base64 output if needed.
- To verify a download, paste the checksum from the publisher's website into Compare with expected hash.
- A green Match means the file is intact; No match means it differs. Use the copy icon to copy one hash, or Copy all hashes to copy the whole list.
What is a hash?
A hash function turns any input, a single word or a 4 GB video, into a short fixed-length "fingerprint". The same input always gives the same hash, and changing even one character gives a completely different one. You can't get the original data back from a hash. That's why hashes are used to check that a download isn't corrupted or tampered with, to spot duplicate files, and to store fingerprints of data in software. This hash generator works out MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and CRC32 for text or files.
MD5("abc") = 900150983cd24fb0d6963f7d28e17f72
CRC32("abc") = 352441c2
Type abc into the tool and you'll get exactly these values. Type Abc and every one of them changes.
Which algorithm should I use?
| Algorithm | Output | Status | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD5 | 128 bits (32 hex) | Broken for security | Old download checksums, duplicate detection |
| SHA-1 | 160 bits (40 hex) | Deprecated | Legacy systems, older Git repositories |
| SHA-256 | 256 bits (64 hex) | Secure | Software downloads, certificates, blockchains |
| SHA-384 | 384 bits (96 hex) | Secure | TLS, subresource integrity (SRI) |
| SHA-512 | 512 bits (128 hex) | Secure | Checksums from some Linux distributions, high-security uses |
| CRC32 | 32 bits (8 hex) | Not cryptographic | ZIP and PNG files, detecting accidental errors |
Researchers showed practical MD5 collisions (two different inputs with the same hash) in 2004, and the first public SHA-1 collision ("SHAttered") was announced in 2017. So never rely on MD5 or SHA-1 where someone might deliberately forge data. They're still fine for catching accidental corruption. For anything security-related, use SHA-256 or stronger.
How to verify a downloaded file
- On the official download page, find the checksum next to the file. It is often labelled "SHA256" or in a file like
SHA256SUMS. - Switch this tool to File and choose the downloaded file.
- Paste the published checksum into Compare with expected hash. The tool finds the matching algorithm on its own and ignores spaces, colons and upper/lower case.
A match proves your copy is byte-for-byte identical to what the publisher hashed. A mismatch usually means an incomplete download. Download again, and if it still fails, don't run the file. And a checksum is only as trustworthy as the page you copied it from.
Good to know
- Text is hashed as UTF-8. Hindi, Gujarati or emoji characters take 3 to 4 bytes each, and the byte count above the box shows exactly what is hashed.
- Invisible characters matter. A trailing space or newline changes the hash. Text copied from Windows files may use CRLF line endings, while a browser text box uses LF, so a file and the same text pasted here can hash differently. Use File mode to hash a file exactly.
- Hashes are not encryption, and plain SHA-256 is not suitable for storing passwords. Websites should use a slow password hash such as bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.
- Privacy: files are read and hashed inside your browser (SHA via the built-in Web Crypto API). Nothing is uploaded, so it's fine for large or confidential files.
