Examples & how to use
Verify a downloaded file
Download a file and copy the SHA-256 value published by its vendor. Select the downloaded file here, generate SHA-256, paste the published value, and choose Verify selected result.
What a match means
A matching checksum strongly indicates that the bytes in your file are identical to the bytes used to create the published checksum. It does not by itself prove that the publisher is trustworthy.
Example SHA-256
9f86d081884c7d659a2feaa0c55ad015...SHA-256 values contain 64 hexadecimal characters. SHA-384 contains 96 and SHA-512 contains 128.
Common uses
ISO images, ZIP archives, firmware, installers, backups, exported reports and any file where you need to confirm integrity after transfer or download.
