The tool takes your text, converts it into bytes, and then uses the browser's native Web Crypto API to generate a secure hash. The result is a fixed-length hexadecimal string that is unique to your input.

1. Enter the text you want to hash in the input box.
2. Select the hash algorithm you want to use (SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512).
3. Click 'Generate' to see the resulting hash in hexadecimal format.

• Creating a checksum to verify that a file has not been altered.
• Hashing a password before storing it in a database.
• Generating a unique key from a string of text.

• Multiple Algorithms: Supports SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512.
• Secure & Private: Uses the browser's Web Crypto API, so your data never leaves your machine.
• Instant Results: Generates hashes in real-time.
• Easy to Use: A simple interface for quick hash generation.

A cryptographic hash function is a one-way function that takes an input and produces a fixed-size string of bytes, known as the 'hash'. Good hash functions are designed to be fast, deterministic, and collision-resistant. SHA (Secure Hash Algorithm) is a family of widely-used cryptographic hash functions.

All calculations and data processing for this tool are performed locally in your browser. We do not send any of your data to our servers, ensuring your information remains private and secure.
