How to use File Checksum Calculator

  1. 1

    Choose a file from your device.

  2. 2

    Select SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, or SHA-1.

  3. 3

    Calculate and compare the hexadecimal checksum with the expected value.

Why use this tool?

Verify file integrity

Compare hashes to check whether a download matches the publisher-provided checksum.

Modern SHA options

SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are available alongside legacy SHA-1.

File remains local

Web Crypto reads the file in your browser and does not upload it.

Frequently asked questions

Which checksum algorithm should I use?

Use the same algorithm as the checksum published by the file provider. Prefer SHA-256 or stronger for new workflows.

Why does changing one byte change the checksum?

Cryptographic hash functions are designed so even a tiny file change produces a very different digest.
