100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee

All cryptographic operations and file checksums are processed locally inside your browser memory using the Web Cryptography API. Zero data leaves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are my files uploaded to any server?

No. All checksum calculations happen directly in your device's memory using the native Web Cryptography API. Your files never leave your computer or phone.

Which hash algorithm should I use?

SHA-256 and SHA-512 are current cryptographic standards recommended for all secure systems and data integrity verifications. MD5 and SHA-1 are included strictly for verifying legacy software downloads.

Can I hash files larger than 100 MB?

Yes. Because files are read locally through your browser's File API, you can hash multi-gigabyte files without network timeouts or bandwidth limits.
