Frequently asked questions

What is SHA-512/256 used for?

Use it when a spec names SHA-512/256. The length matches SHA-256, but the digest does not.

How do I use the free online SHA-512/256 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-512/256?

Paste the message as UTF-8. The length of the digest matches SHA-256, but the value does not.

What output does SHA-512/256 give me?

64 lowercase hex characters. A SHA-256 tool will not reproduce this value.

Is SHA-512/256 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.

Can I substitute SHA-256 because both are 64 hex characters?

No. Verifiers that expect SHA-512/256 will reject a SHA-256 digest, and the other way around.
