How to generate SHA-512 hashes
Generate the SHA-512 hash of any text instantly: type or paste text and the SHA-512 digest appears as you type, in lowercase hex, uppercase hex or Base64.
- Type or paste your text into the box above.
- The SHA-512 hash appears right away: the SHA-512 of hello is 9b71d224bd62f3785d96d46ad3ea3d73319bfbc2890caadae2dff72519673ca72323c3d99ba5c11d7c7acc6e14b8c5da0c4663475c2e5c3adef46f73bcdec043.
- Copy the hash, or switch between 17 algorithms and three output formats.
Is SHA-512 secure?
SHA-512 is secure. For passwords, use a slow password hash such as bcrypt or Argon2 instead of any plain hash.

What is SHA-512?
SHA-512 produces a 512-bit hash, shown as 128 hex characters. It is often faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit processors.
Frequently asked questions
Can SHA-512 hashes be reversed?
No. A hash is a one-way function: it can't be turned back into the text. Short, common inputs can still be found in lookup tables, which is why a plain hash must never store passwords.
Why does changing one letter change the whole hash?
Hash functions are designed so that any change to the input, even one bit, produces a completely different result. That makes them good for detecting changes.
Does the text encoding matter?
Yes. The hash is computed from the UTF-8 bytes of the text. Other tools that use a different encoding or add a line break at the end will give a different hash.
