Generate and Verify SHA-256 Hashes in Chrome

For a quick hash check without opening a terminal or an online tool that logs your input, this extension generates SHA-256 hashes locally and lets you compare a value against an existing hash.

Encrypt text to SHA-256 and compare hashes. 🔐 SHA-256 Encrypt / Decrypt Tool SHA-256 Encrypt / Decrypt Tool is a fast, secure, and easy-to-use Chrome extension for generating SHA-256 hashes and verifying hash values directly from your browser. With this extension, you can instantly convert plain text into a SHA-256 hash using Chrome’s built-in cryptography engine. It also allows you to compare a plain text value against an existing SHA-256 hash to verify whether they match — a common requirement in development, security checks, and data validation workflows. 🔒 Built for security and privacy, all hashing operations are performed locally on your device. No data is sent to any server, no tracking is used, and no permissions are required. ⚠️ Important: SHA-256 is a one-way hashing algorithm and cannot be decrypted. This extension follows correct cryptographic practices by generating and comparing hashes rather than attempting unsafe or inaccurate decryption. ✨ Key Features 🔑 Generate SHA-256 hashes instantly 🔍 Compare plain text with existing SHA-256 hashes 📴 Works completely offline 🚀 Fast and lightweight popup interface 🔒 No data collection or tracking ✅ No permissions required --- 👨‍💻 Who Is This For?
