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
- Choose SHA-256 or SHA-512 algorithm
- Enter your text in the input field
