SHA-384 Hash Generator

Generate the SHA-384 hash of any text or file. The 384-bit digest is computed locally in your browser and updates on every keystroke. Switch to File mode to fingerprint downloads and verify checksums without uploading anything.

About SHA-384

SHA-384 is a member of the SHA-2 family, published by NIST in FIPS 180-4. SHA-384 is a truncation of SHA-512 with different initial values, using 64-bit words and 80 rounds to produce a 384-bit digest. The same input always yields the same digest, and a one-character change produces a completely different value.

Features

Text or file input (text, hex bytes, Base64, or Latin-1), up to 200 MB
Hex, uppercase HEX, or Base64 output
Hash each line for bulk processing of lists
Compare with a known hash to verify integrity instantly

Security

SHA-2 is the current workhorse for cryptographic hashing: TLS certificates, software signatures, blockchain systems, and file integrity all rely on it. For password storage, use a slow algorithm such as bcrypt (see the WordPress Password Hash Generator); for keyed message authentication, use the HMAC Generator. To see the whole family side by side, try the SHA2 Hash Generator, and for the newer sponge design see SHA3-256.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is a SHA-384 hash?

SHA-384 produces 384 bits, shown here as 96 hexadecimal characters. You can also switch the output to uppercase or Base64.

Is SHA-384 secure?

Yes. The SHA-2 family has no known practical collision or preimage attacks and is recommended by NIST for digital signatures, certificates, and integrity checks.

Why choose SHA-384 over SHA-256?

SHA-384 is based on the 64-bit SHA-512 engine but outputs 384 bits. On 64-bit hardware it can be as fast as SHA-256 while offering a larger digest, and it is required by some TLS cipher suites and government profiles.

How do I verify a file's SHA-384 checksum?

Switch to File mode, drop the file in, and paste the published checksum into the compare box. A green message confirms the file matches. The file never leaves your browser.
