How to use SHA-256 Hash Generator

Compute SHA-256 checksums for any files — sha256sum-compatible output.

  1. Prepare your input

    Choose the files to checksum.

  2. Use the workspace

    Compute their SHA-256 digests locally.

  3. Check your result

    Compare the full digest with a checksum from a trusted source.

Know the limits

A matching digest proves byte equality with the reference, not that a file is harmless or its source trustworthy.
