SHA Hash Generator

Generate a SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 hash from text in your browser — type or paste your text, choose an algorithm, and get the hexadecimal digest immediately, using your browser's native Web Crypto API rather than a custom implementation.

SHA hashing is one-way: it produces a fixed-length fingerprint that cannot be reversed back into the original text. It is not encryption, and hashing a password directly with SHA is not a secure way to store passwords.

How to use it

  1. Choose an algorithm: SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512
  2. Type or paste your text into the input box
  3. Click Generate hash to get the hexadecimal digest
  4. Copy the result with one click, or clear to start over

A SHA hash is one-way: it produces a fixed-length fingerprint of the input that cannot be reversed back into the original text, which is exactly what's useful for verifying that a piece of text or a downloaded value matches an expected digest, or generating a deterministic identifier from text content. SHA hashing is not encryption, and hashing a password directly with SHA is not a secure way to store passwords — dedicated password-hashing algorithms with salting exist for that purpose and are outside the scope of this tool. Everything runs locally in your browser, so no text you enter is ever sent to a server or stored anywhere.
