A hexadecimal digest: 64 characters for SHA-256, 96 for SHA-384 or 128 for SHA-512. Identical bytes and the same algorithm give identical output.

A WORKED TASK
Compare content using a SHA checksum
Choose SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 and hash the text or an imported local file. A checksum summarizes exact bytes. Hash the same content twice and compare the result; then add a single character. The changed input should produce a different digest.
Hashing is not encryption and cannot recover the original. These fast SHA algorithms alone are not suitable password-storage schemes. The tool uses Web Crypto rather than Python.
What to check
- Newlines, trailing spaces and text encoding affect a text checksum.
- For a downloaded file, compare against a digest from a source you trust, not a digest copied from the same untrusted download.
- A matching checksum checks equality; it does not identify the person who created the file.

- Processing
- Code and supported files are processed in this browser tab. Runtime tools download Python WebAssembly, but do not intentionally upload your source.
- Important limitation
- The browser runtime is intentionally isolated and may not include every desktop package, system command or network feature. Verify production programs in their target Python environment.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Hash Generator FAQ
Does this upload my code or files?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser. Runtime tools download Python itself, but your source is not sent to our server.
Why can the first Python run take longer?
The browser downloads and starts the Python WebAssembly runtime. Later runs in the same tab are normally much faster.
Can I stop a program that takes too long?
Yes. Runtime tools show a Stop button while Python is working. Stopping terminates the isolated worker and a clean runtime starts when needed.
