SHA-1: 160-bit summary, output 40-bit hexadecimal.

SHA-1 is no longer applicable to security scenarios (e.g. SHattered) and is recommended to be replaced with SHA-256 / SHA-512.

Free online SHA1 hash calculator for text and files. Perfect for legacy system compatibility, file verification and signature testing.

Features

  • Text and file digest: quickly generate SHA1 hashes for verification and comparison
  • Legacy system friendly: ideal for historical projects, old APIs and traditional signature workflows
  • Signature debugging helper: combine with HMAC-SHA1 and other hash workflows for troubleshooting
  • Easy to copy: paste results into release notes, verification docs and debugging records

How to Use

  1. 1.Select calculation mode (text or file)
  2. 2.Enter text or upload the file to calculate
  3. 3.The tool automatically computes and displays the SHA1 hash
  4. 4.Copy the result for verification, debugging or records

FAQ

Where is SHA1 still used today?

While no longer the first choice for strict security scenarios, SHA1 remains common in legacy system compatibility, historical file verification and certain signature workflows.

Can I use it for file integrity verification?

Yes, especially when you already have a SHA1 fingerprint to compare against. Quick calculation and comparison is still a common workflow.

Is SHA1 related to HMAC-SHA1?

Yes. Plain SHA1 is used for digests, while HMAC-SHA1 adds a key on top, making it suitable for signature verification.

Is this tool useful for legacy system compatibility?

Absolutely. Historical projects, old APIs and migration scenarios often require SHA1 result verification.
