SHA-256 Hash Generator

Generate SHA-256 hashes from text or files. Currently the most widely used cryptographic hash function.

What is SHA-256?

SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit) is a member of the SHA-2 family, designed by the NSA. It generates a 256-bit (32-byte) signature, widely used for SSL certificates, blockchain technology (like Bitcoin), and file integrity verification.

Security Status

SHA-256 is currently considered extremely secure and collision-resistant. It remains the industry standard for most secure hashing needs today.
