Tooloat

Hash generator and file checksum calculator

Check that a download is intact or that two files are identical. Drop files of any size, and each is read in small pieces by a worker, so even multi gigabyte files do not fill your memory. Paste a published checksum or a SHA256SUMS file and see at once whether it matches.

Tooloat runs in your browser and needs JavaScript. It opens in a moment, and your files are processed on your device.

How it works

  1. Drop files, or switch to Text.
  2. Choose the algorithms.
  3. Copy the hashes, or paste a checksum to verify.

Why use it

  • MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, BLAKE3 and CRC-32.
  • Streams large files in the background.
  • Verifies against pasted hashes and checksum files.
  • HMAC for text.

Questions and answers

How do I verify a downloaded file?

Drop the file, paste the checksum from the download page into the verify box, and you will see whether it matches.

Which algorithm should I use?

SHA-256 is the usual choice for published checksums. MD5 and SHA-1 only detect accidental damage.

Is my file uploaded?

No, hashing runs on your device.
