SHA-256 hash
Hash text with SHA-256 in Web Crypto. The catalog still says MD5 — browsers do not expose MD5, so this page is honest SHA-256.
Result
SHA-256
MD5 is not in the browser crypto API, so this is SHA-256.
How to use
- 1Type or paste the string.
- 2Copy the hex digest.
- 3Compare with another SHA-256, not with an MD5 from an old tool.
FAQ
- Where is MD5?
- Not in the browser crypto API. Use SHA-256. If a form still wants MD5, that form is dated.
- File hashing?
- This hashes the text in the box, not a disk file (yet).
- Do you store what I type?
- Browser tools stay in this tab. Refreshing the page clears the form. Nothing is saved to a Pulse account.
- Is this free?
- Yes. Pulse stays free because of advertising. Ads may appear when you copy, download, or run the main action.
