Algorithms

SHA-256 is the standard checksum used by Linux distros, browsers, and most software vendors. SHA-1 is shown for legacy verification but is no longer cryptographically secure.

About this tool

How to verify a download

When a publisher (Linux distro, browser vendor, etc.) lists a SHA-256 next to a download, run the file through this tool and compare. Paste the expected hash into the "Compare against" box and you'll get a ✓ or ✗ immediately. If they don't match, the file is corrupted, tampered with, or you grabbed the wrong release.

SHA-1 still appears for legacy verification but should never be used for new security work — it's cryptographically broken.
