How to use

  1. 1 Pick Text or File mode.
  2. 2 Type / paste text, or choose a file (≤ 50 MB).
  3. 3 Pick output encoding (hex or Base64).
  4. 4 Copy the digest.

Why use this tool

  • Uses native Web Crypto API.
  • Common in legacy systems — Git object IDs, older TLS, some integrity checks.
  • Output in hex (40 chars) or Base64 (28 chars).
  • Pure client-side.

Frequently asked questions

Is SHA-1 still safe?

No — SHA-1 has practical collision attacks (SHAttered, 2017). Do not use SHA-1 for digital signatures or any anti-tamper purpose. Use SHA-256 instead.

Why is SHA-1 still around?

Legacy compatibility — Git uses it for object IDs (with collision-detection patches), some older TLS deployments, and historical file checksums.

Does this work offline?

Yes — hashing runs entirely in your browser once the page loads.

What is SHA-1 Hash Generator?

A SHA-1 Hash Generator is a tool that computes the SHA-1 message digest of text or files, producing a fixed-length checksum useful for Git commit hashes and legacy systems. It uses the browser's native Web Crypto API to perform the hashing and outputs the digest in hexadecimal or Base64 encoding. The computation runs entirely in the browser, so the input is processed client-side and is never uploaded to a server.
