Hex digest

About SHA-1 Hash

SHA-1 is only for checking old systems that still publish a 40-character digest. Do not use it for new signatures, passwords or anything you need to keep safe.

The page hashes the UTF-8 bytes of the whole input. The text abc matches the published test vector. Uppercase hex is there when the old printout uses A-F.

MD5 is not offered. WebCrypto does not provide it, and this page will not invent one. Prefer SHA-256 for anything new.

Frequently asked questions

When should I use SHA-1?

SHA-1 is only for checking old systems. Do not use it to sign new data or to store a password.

Does this page compute MD5?

No. WebCrypto does not offer MD5, and this page will not invent one.

What is the SHA-1 hex of the text abc?

The lowercase digest is a9993e364706816aba3e25717850c26c9cd0d89d. Uppercase hex prints those same digits with A-F.

Is the text I paste uploaded anywhere?

No. This runs in your browser and the text you paste is never uploaded, logged or stored. Google Analytics records page views and feature use, never content.

  • SHA-256 Hash

    Compute a SHA-256 message digest from any text in your browser. The hex updates as you type, and your text is never uploaded.

  • SHA-512 Hash

    Compute a SHA-512 message digest from any text in your browser. The longer hex updates as you type, and your text is never uploaded.

  • HMAC-SHA256

    Sign a message with HMAC-SHA256 in your browser. Put the key on the first line, then the text, and your text is never uploaded.

  • Lorem Ipsum

    Generate placeholder words, sentences or paragraphs.

  • UUID Generator

    Generate version-4 UUIDs from cryptographic random bytes.

  • QR Code

    Encode text as a QR code and show it as an image.

  • JSON Escape / Unescape

    Turn text into a valid JSON string literal, or decode one back to plain text.
