Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I calculate the SHA-256 hash of large files?
Yes! Our tool reads file ArrayBuffers locally via the Web Crypto API, meaning even large files hash rapidly without uploading any bytes to a server.
How do I verify if a downloaded file has the correct checksum?
Drop your downloaded file into the File Checksum tab, then paste the official hash into the 'Verify / Compare Checksum' box. The tool flags matching or corrupted files instantly.
