Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cryptographic hash and why do developers match them?
A cryptographic hash is a fixed-size alphanumeric string (checksum) generated by passing raw files or data strings through mathematical algorithms (like SHA-256 or MD5). Developers match hashes to verify file integrity, confirming that downloaded files, packages, or databases have not been corrupted during transfer or modified by unauthorized parties.
Is my hash database or token payload sent to an external server?
No, privacy is built in. All string comparisons, casing normalizations, and length validations are handled 100% locally in your browser's sandboxed RAM. No values are ever logged, cached, or transmitted across any networks.
Does this tool support hash matching for different algorithms at once?
For a valid comparison, both input checksums must represent the same hashing algorithm. For example, comparing an MD5 hash (32 characters) with a SHA-256 hash (64 characters) is mathematically invalid and will be flagged as a length mismatch.
