File never leaves your browser
Download a file and want to verify it wasn't corrupted or tampered with? Paste the expected SHA-256 (or SHA-1, MD5) from the vendor's site, drop the file, and CipherForces compares. Green check = safe to install. Red X = do not run.
Privacy: Hashing uses crypto.subtle in your browser. Files never upload.
Drop your file into the tool to compute its SHA-256 checksum, then paste the expected hash from the download page into the verify box. The tool compares the two and tells you instantly whether they match, confirming the file is intact and unaltered.
No. The entire checksum runs in your browser using JavaScript, so your file never leaves your device or touches a server. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or transmitted, which means you can safely verify sensitive or confidential files without any privacy risk.
It proves the file you have is byte-for-byte identical to the original. If your computed SHA-256 hash matches the publisher's, the download was not corrupted or tampered with. Even a single changed byte produces a completely different hash, so any mismatch signals a problem.
Yes. The File Checksum Verifier is completely free with no signup, account, or installation required. Open the page, add your file, and compare checksums right away. Because everything happens locally in your browser, you can use it as often as you need at no cost.
