Complete guide
How to use File Hash & Integrity Checker
Calculate MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashes in your browser without uploading the file, then compare them with a value supplied by the publisher.
Three-step workflow
- 1
Choose a file and wait for the browser to calculate MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256.
- 2
Paste the hash published by the download source into the optional comparison field.
- 3
Review the match result and copy individual hashes when you need a separate record.
What to enter and check
Compare the same algorithm and prefer SHA-256 for security-sensitive downloads.
A match means file contents are unchanged since that hash was created. A hash does not prove the file is free of malware.
Copy a software publisher's SHA-256 value and compare it with the locally calculated value for the downloaded installer.
A match means file contents are unchanged since that hash was created. A hash does not prove the file is free of malware.
Before you use the result
- Prefer SHA-256 when verifying security-sensitive downloads.
- A hash confirms whether files match; it does not prove a file is safe or free of malware.
