What is the File Checksum Calculator?
Software download pages often publish a SHA-256 or MD5 checksum so you can confirm the file you downloaded is exactly the original – not corrupted or tampered with. Choose a file here to calculate its SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1 and MD5 hashes, then paste the published value to verify it automatically.
Your file is read locally and never uploaded – even large ISO files work (limited by your device memory).
How to use the File Checksum Calculator
- Choose or drag a file.
- Wait for the hashes to be calculated.
- Paste the expected checksum to see if it matches.
Which hash should I use?
SHA-256 is the modern standard. MD5 and SHA-1 are still used for quick integrity checks but are not secure against deliberate tampering.
This File Checksum Calculator is 100% free, needs no signup and runs privately in your browser – on phone, tablet or computer.
