Compute the SHA-1 hash of any text input, historically used for checksums and digital signatures though now considered weak for security.

SHA-1
SHA-256
SHA-512

Hashes are computed in your browser using the Web Crypto API. MD5 is not available as it's insecure.

About the SHA1

A SHA-1 hash generator computes the SHA-1 hash of any text input, historically used for checksums and digital signatures though now considered weak for security purposes.

How to use

1

Type or paste your text into the input field.

2

The SHA-1 hash is generated automatically.

3

Copy the resulting hash value.

Frequently asked questions

Is SHA-1 safe to use today?
For security-sensitive applications, no. SHA-1 has known collision vulnerabilities, and SHA-256 or stronger is recommended instead.
How long is a SHA-1 hash?
SHA-1 always produces a 160-bit hash, shown as a 40-character hexadecimal string.
