How to use
Enter text and choose Calculate SHA-256. The exact input is encoded as UTF-8; spaces and line breaks are not trimmed. Empty input is also supported.
Example
SHA-256 of abc: ba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad.

A hash is a one-way digest and cannot be decrypted to recover the original text. This tool is not for password storage; use a dedicated password-hashing scheme for that purpose.
Why do similar-looking texts produce different digests? Spaces, line endings, capitalization and Unicode representations can change the input bytes.
