About the SHA-1 Hash Generator

The SHA-1 Hash Generator generates SHA-1 hashes, still required by some legacy systems and Git object addressing. It runs as plain JavaScript inside the page, which means there is no upload step, no queue and no size limit imposed by a server — the only limit is your own device.

What people use it for

  • Matching a hash produced by an older system.
  • Understanding Git object IDs.
  • Verifying a legacy checksum.
SHA-1 has been broken since 2017 (the SHAttered attack). Do not use it for signatures or certificates.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a limit on how often I can use the SHA-1 Hash Generator?
It is free, with no account, no trial and no daily cap. Every security tool on inputtesthub.com works the same way: open the page and use it.
Is my data uploaded anywhere?
No. The SHA-1 Hash Generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored, which you can verify yourself in the Network tab of your browser's developer tools.
What do people use the SHA-1 Hash Generator for most?
The most common reasons people reach for it: matching a hash produced by an older system. Understanding Git object IDs. Verifying a legacy checksum. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Is there a catch?
SHA-1 has been broken since 2017 (the SHAttered attack). Do not use it for signatures or certificates.
Will this work on a tablet?
Yes. The page is responsive and the tool works in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Samsung Internet on both Android and iOS. There is no app to install and nothing to sign into.
