How it works

Calculate SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 or MD5 for UTF-8 text or a local file. MD5 is for checksums only. Enter your values or try the example. Run the action, check the result and copy or download it. Your input remains editable after an error.

When to use this tool

Compare a file with a checksum from a trusted source, using the same algorithm.

Supported formats & limits

UTF-8 text or a file up to 20 MiB. A checksum identifies bytes; it does not prove who created a file. Whitespace and line endings change the digest. MD5 is for legacy checksums only. It is unsuitable for passwords, signatures or security.

Good to know

What happens when I change the input?

An edited input needs a new result. Run the action again; previous download links are removed so you cannot mistake an old output for the current one.

Are my files uploaded?
