SHA-256/512 Generator

What are SHA-256 and SHA-512?

SHA-256 and SHA-512 are cryptographic hash functions that are part of the SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) family. They produce a fixed-size output (256 bits and 512 bits respectively) for any input, and are widely used for data integrity verification and digital signatures.

When to Use

  • Verifying data integrity
  • Storing password hashes (with proper salting)
  • Digital signatures and certificates
  • Blockchain and cryptocurrency applications

How to Use

  1. Choose SHA-256 or SHA-512 algorithm
  2. Enter your text in the input field
  3. Click the "Generate Hash" button
  4. View the resulting hash in the output field
