Frequently asked questions

What is SHA-512 used for?

Use it for checksums that ask for SHA-512. Like the other SHA-2 hashes here, it is not a password hash.

How do I use the free online SHA-512 tool?

Fill in Input. This field is required. Click Run and copy the result under the form.

What can I paste or upload into SHA-512?

Paste the message as UTF-8. The tool hashes those bytes and nothing else — no file name and no newline you did not type.

What output does SHA-512 give me?

128 lowercase hex characters. The same input always produces the same digest on this page.

Is SHA-512 free, and is my input private?

Yes — Your input is processed in memory for this request only. It is not saved to disk or the database, and it is cleared after the tool finishes.

Why is SHA-512 sometimes faster than SHA-256?

On 64-bit CPUs SHA-512 works on larger words. Speed is not a reason to mix them: the other side of the check must use SHA-512 too.

Inputs are processed in memory only and are not saved to disk or the database. Data exists only for the duration of your request.
