SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 & SHA-512 Hash Generator
Every SHA digest of your text, computed live.
About this tool
The SHA-2 family (SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512) is the workhorse of modern integrity checking — TLS certificates, code signing, blockchain, password storage pipelines. This tool computes all digests simultaneously as you type, using the browser's native Web Crypto implementation.
SHA-1 is included for compatibility and legacy verification only: practical collision attacks have existed since 2017, so never use it for signatures or new designs.
Like everything on encrypt.tools, this runs entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is transmitted or stored.
Frequently asked questions about SHA Hash Generator
Which SHA algorithm should I use?+
SHA-256 is the standard choice for integrity and signatures. Use SHA-384 or SHA-512 for higher security margins. Avoid SHA-1 for anything security-sensitive — it has practical collision attacks.
Why is SHA-1 shown if it's broken?+
For verifying legacy checksums and understanding older systems. SHA-1 collisions have been demonstrated since 2017, so never use it for new signatures or security.
Are these hashes computed locally?+
Yes — all digests are computed in your browser with the Web Crypto API. Nothing you type is uploaded.
