Hash Generator
Compute the MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes of a piece of text or a file. Handy for checking that a download arrived intact.

How to use
Type or paste text and all four hashes are computed as you go. Copy whichever one you need and compare it against what another system produced.
Switch to the file tab to get a checksum for a file on your machine. That is how you confirm an installer you downloaded matches the value the publisher posted. If even one character differs, the file is either corrupted or not the one you were meant to get.
Do not lean on MD5 or SHA-1 where security matters, because collisions can be constructed for both. They are fine for spotting a file that got mangled in transit, but use SHA-256 or stronger for signatures and for anything password related.
Text you type and files you pick are never sent to a server. Everything is hashed inside your browser.
