File checksum

Computes a fingerprint of the file so you can confirm a download arrived intact, or prove two files are identical without opening them.

How to use it

  1. Drop any file, of any type or size.
  2. Pick the algorithm, SHA-256 unless told otherwise.
  3. Compare the value with the one you were given.

Questions

Which one should I use?

SHA-256 for anything that matters. SHA-1 only when a site still publishes SHA-1 values for you to check against.

Does it upload the file?

No. It is read straight from your disk by the browser's own crypto engine.
