SHA-256 Generator
Calculate SHA-256 hashes of text, files or decoded bytes locally, then copy or export the result.
- generator
Calculate and compare text or file hashes with 25 algorithms in your browser — free, with no sign-up, and your files and text never leave your device. Choose an algorithm, enter text or select a file, then copy or export the digest.
Empty input is valid. Spaces and Unicode are preserved; no BOM is added.

SHA-256 produces 32 bytes: 64 hexadecimal characters. Base64 represents the same digest bytes. Choose from 25 algorithms, including SHA-2, SHA-3, Keccak, BLAKE, SHAKE and checksums. Calculate up to eight in one pass.
Input source: Text / Files / Encoded bytes. Empty input is valid. Spaces and Unicode are preserved; no BOM is added. Text encoding: UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE; Line endings: LF / CRLF. Any file type is accepted. The original bytes are hashed, not extracted document text or the filename. Files are processed one at a time in 1 MiB chunks.
Select the expected algorithm and encoding explicitly. Comparison uses decoded bytes and checks the exact length. Changing output format or expected value does not reread a file.
