Drop a file to hash it in this tab.

How it works

1

Drop the file

One file, up to 10 MB. The name appears under the drop zone. The X clears it. The file stays in this tab. Easy24 does not receive it.

2

Pick algorithms and encoding

Select one or more of MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Hex is lowercase. Base64 is standard. Turning on another algorithm hashes the file already in the tab.

3

Copy, compare, or download

Copy sits on each hash. Paste a known checksum to see a match on the digest of the same length. Download report writes a text list.

What is a file hash?

A file hash is a short digest of the whole file. Sites publish SHA-256 or MD5 so you can check a download was not truncated or swapped. This tool hashes one file in the tab with MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512, as hex or Base64, and can compare a known digest. Easy24 does not receive the file.

Why use this tool

  • File Hash runs in a browser tab.
  • MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512, several at once
  • Compare a known checksum. Hex or Base64. Copy and a text report
  • No account. Unlimited on the free plan, 10 MB max file
  • Hash several algorithms on the same file at once

Questions

What is a file hash?

A hash is a fixed digest of the file bytes. The same file always yields the same SHA-256. Change one byte and the digest changes. This page runs in your browser.

How do I use File Hash?

Drop a file. It appears under the drop zone. Select the algorithms you need, then copy a digest. Paste a checksum from a download page to check it matches.

Which algorithms can I use?

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. SHA-256 is the default. SHA-3 and BLAKE are not offered here.

MD5 or SHA-256?

MD5 still appears on older download pages. It is not collision-resistant. Prefer SHA-256 for new checks.

Hex or Base64?

Same bytes, different text. Most checksums are hex. Pick Base64 only if the value you were given is Base64.

Can I hash several files?

No. One file at a time. Drop another file or tap the X to replace it. Each selected algorithm has its own copy button.

File Hash or Hash Generator?

File Hash digests a file you drop. Hash Generator digests UTF-8 text you paste. HMAC Generator signs text with a secret.

How large can a file be?

10 MB on the free plan. Larger files need Pro later.

When to use File Hash

If you only need File Hash once in a while, a browser page is often enough: set options, get a result, move on. MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 of a local file. Never paste production secrets into a shared computer you do not trust. Even local tools run in that machine’s memory. Search results often mix upload-based converters with local tools. Read the privacy note on this page so you know which model you are using. On Easy24, normal use of this tool keeps processing in your browser. That means the content you paste or the file you pick does not need to be uploaded to finish the job. This page has no daily free-plan cap, so you can run it as often as you need.
