What's the difference between Personal and Studio?

Personal ($39) is for one person — unlimited use on one active device at a time. Activate on a new device and the old one signs out. Studio ($199) is for teams and commercial client work — unlimited team members, early access to new tools, and a commercial license.

Do I need an account?

No. Use any tool free up to 5 times per day on compute-heavier tools, and unlimited on lightweight ones. No card, no account, no signup required.

Where are my files processed?

Right on your device. Files never upload to any server. Everything runs in your browser — you can verify in DevTools → Network.

What happens if I use my Personal license on a second device?

The new device activates and the old device signs out. Your license key stays the same — you just move it between devices as needed. No limit on how often you switch.

Does this work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on iPhone, Android, tablet, and desktop.

What if I want a refund?

30-day money-back guarantee on both tiers. No questions asked. Email sales@cipherforces.com.

Will you add more tools?

Yes. New tools ship regularly. Your license includes every tool we ever release — Studio members get early access.

About Hash Generator.

Generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 Hashes

Type text or drop a file and CipherForces Hash Generator computes cryptographic hashes using the Web Crypto API. Verify file integrity, generate content-addressed IDs, or check password hashes against known breaches.

Common Use Cases

File integrity: Verify a downloaded file matches the vendor's published SHA-256 checksum.
Content addressing: Generate stable IDs for deduplication or caching.
Password breach check: Hash a password with SHA-1 and check against HIBP (or use our dedicated Password Generator's breach check).
Digital signing: Produce the hash that gets signed in a document signing workflow.

Key Features

Four SHA variants: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.
Text and file inputs: Paste text or drop a file up to 500 MB.
Live updates: Hashes recompute as you type.
Hex + base64 output: Choose the encoding.

Privacy: Hashing uses the browser's native crypto.subtle API. Zero network.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How do I generate a SHA-256 hash from text?

Open the Hash Generator, paste or type your text into the input box, and select SHA-256. The hash appears instantly as you type. You can also switch to SHA-1, SHA-384, or SHA-512, or drop in a file to hash its contents the same way. No signup is needed.

Is my file or text uploaded to a server when I hash it?

No. The Hash Generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so your text and files never leave your device. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. You can confirm this by hashing after disconnecting from the internet, since the tool keeps working offline.

Can I generate a SHA-512 hash for a file?

Yes. Drag a file into the Hash Generator or pick it with the file selector, then choose SHA-512. The tool reads the file in your browser and produces the hash locally. It also supports SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-384, so you can compare a file against any provided checksum.

What is the difference between SHA-256 and SHA-512?

Both are hashing algorithms from the SHA-2 family. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash, while SHA-512 produces a longer 512-bit hash. SHA-512 offers a larger output and is often faster on 64-bit systems. This tool generates both, plus SHA-1 and SHA-384, so you can match whatever a checksum requires.
