SHA-512 Hash Generator

Calculate SHA-512 hash of any text or file. SHA-512 provides maximum cryptographic security with 512-bit output.

About SHA-512 hash function

Maximum cryptographic security

SHA-512 provides 256 bits of collision resistance β€” that is more than the number of atoms in the visible Universe. Even accounting for Moore's Law, this will last for billions of years.

Performance on modern processors

Paradoxically, SHA-512 often runs faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit processors. This is because the algorithm is optimized for 64-bit operations.

SHA-512 for passwords

Many modern systems use SHA-512 as part of PBKDF2 or bcrypt for password hashing. The long hash makes rainbow table attacks harder.

How to calculate SHA-512 hash

1

Enter data

Enter text in the input field or upload a file to calculate the hash.

2

Click "Calculate SHA-512"

The algorithm will process input data and create a 128-character hash.

3

Use the result

Copy the hash for maximum security cryptographic applications.
