Frequently Asked Questions

A hash function takes any input and produces a fixed-length output. The same input always produces the same hash, but even a tiny change produces a completely different result. Hashes are one-way — you cannot reverse them.
SHA-256 is the current standard for most security uses. SHA-512 offers more security margin. MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken — only use them for non-security file integrity checks.
The file is read as an ArrayBuffer using the FileReader API, then passed to crypto.subtle.digest. The hash is computed entirely in your browser — file bytes never leave your device.
Confirming a downloaded file hasn't been tampered with. Compare the hash from the software publisher with the hash you generate from the downloaded file.
