About this tool

Compute MD5, CRC-16/CRC-32, SHA-1/256/384/512 checksums and HMAC signatures for any text — all locally in your browser.

The BrainCoder Checksum & HMAC Calculator computes cryptographic and non-cryptographic checksums for any text input. It supports popular algorithms including CRC32, Adler32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and HMAC variants with custom keys. Checksums verify data integrity — if even a single bit changes, the checksum changes completely.

HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) adds a secret key to the hash computation, creating a tamper-evident seal. If you share data along with its HMAC, the recipient can verify the data hasn't been modified by recomputing the HMAC with the same key. This is fundamental to API authentication, webhook verification, and secure communication protocols.

Non-cryptographic checksums like CRC32 are faster and used for error detection in file transfers, network packets, and storage systems. Our tool covers both use cases in a single interface. All computation happens in your browser — no text, keys, or hashes are sent anywhere.

How to use Checksum & HMAC Calculator

Follow the steps below to use the tool.

  1. 1

    Enter text to checksum

    Type or paste the data you want to compute a checksum or HMAC for into the input field.

  2. 2

    Select algorithm

    Choose from CRC32, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or HMAC variants. For HMAC, enter your secret key in the key field.
