Common questions

Is SHA-256 safe for passwords?

Not on its own. It is fast and needs a salt plus a slow KDF such as bcrypt or Argon2 for password storage.

Does the digest change with a tiny edit?

Yes. The avalanche effect means a one-character change produces a completely different hash.

Can I hash a large file here?

This page hashes text. Use a command-line tool such as sha256sum for large files.
