Simple by design

From file to result in three steps

  1. 1

    Paste the text you want to hash.

  2. 2

    Select SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512.

  3. 3

    Generate and copy the digest, then compare every character where needed.

Practical guidance

When to use Generate hash

Best for

Producing a repeatable digest of text with modern SHA-2 algorithms.

What you get

A fixed-length hexadecimal digest of the UTF-8 text. The same text and selected algorithm produce the same hash.

Useful tip

This workspace hashes text, not original binary file bytes. A hash is not encryption or a password-storage scheme.

Compare checksums character for character

A matching digest is useful evidence that two byte sequences are identical. Make sure both sides use the same algorithm and compare the complete value, not just the beginning.

Text encoding affects the result

Hashes operate on bytes. Visually similar text can hash differently when spaces, line endings, capitalization or Unicode normalization differ.

Frequently asked questions

Which hash algorithm should I choose?+

SHA-256 is the most commonly requested choice for file checksums. Use SHA-384 or SHA-512 only when the destination specifically requires it.

Can I turn a hash back into the original value?+

No. Cryptographic hashes are designed as one-way digests rather than reversible encryption.

Why does a tiny text change create a different hash?+

A secure hash is designed so that even a one-byte change produces a very different digest.

Is SHA-256 suitable for passwords?+

Not by itself. Password storage should use a dedicated slow password-hashing scheme with a unique salt, such as Argon2, scrypt, bcrypt or PBKDF2.

Does my file leave my device?+

No. This tool processes your file inside your browser and does not send its contents, name or metadata to Filemivo.

Is Generate hash free?+

Yes. It is free to use and has no artificial file-size limit. Your browser and device memory determine the practical limit.
