SHA256 Hash Generator

What is SHA256

SHA-256 is a cryptographic hash function that takes an input and produces a message digest of 256-bit which is equivalent to 32 bytes. SHA-256 is part of the SHA-2 family of cryptographic hashes. SHA-2 was designed by the United States National Security Agency and first published in the year 2001.

SHA-256 hash is composed of 64 hexadecimal characters. It is most often used to verify whether a file is tempered in any form or manner while transmitting from one point to another. The verification is done by comparing the checksum before and after transmission of the file.

Calculating the SHA256 hash of a string is not something that one can be done manually because hashing a string is a very complex and tedious process. That is where our online SHA256 hash generator tool comes into play.

We have so many methods and tools available to calculate the SHA256 hash of a string, but not every online tool gives an accurate result and that is why we have created this online SHA256 Hash Generator tool. It is a very simple and easy-to-use tool. Most important thing is that it is beginner-friendly.

How to Use SHA256 Hash Generator Tool

• As you can see, we have 2 input fields and 1 dropdown.
• On the left-hand side, enter a text in the input field.
• On the right-hand side, select SHA256 from the dropdown. As soon as you perform the selection, the tool will generate the SHA256 hash of the text and display the result.
