Hash Verifier
Check whether a piece of text matches a given MD5 or SHA hash.
Because hashes can't be reversed, the reliable way to confirm one is to hash the value you expect and compare the results.
About Hash Verifier
Enter some text and a hash to find out whether they match. The tool detects the algorithm from the hash length (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512), hashes your text, and compares the two. Hashes cannot be reversed, so verifying a known value is the reliable way to confirm a hash — it runs entirely in your browser.
Because hashes can't be reversed, the reliable way to confirm one is to hash the value you expect and compare the results. The hash verifier automates this: paste your text and the hash you have, and it detects the algorithm from the hash length, hashes your text, and tells you whether they match.
How to use Hash Verifier
- Enter the original text you want to check.
- Paste the hash you want to compare against.
- The tool identifies the algorithm from the hash length.
- Read the match or no-match result.
Key features
- Automatic algorithm detection for MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512.
- Case-insensitive comparison of hex values.
- Immediate, clear match or mismatch message.
- Private — nothing is sent to a server.
Common use cases
- Checking that a stored hash corresponds to a known value.
- Verifying a checksum given in documentation or release notes.
- Debugging why two systems produce different hashes for the same text.
