Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SHA256 hash?
A SHA256 hash is a fixed-size string generated from input data using the SHA256 algorithm, commonly used for data integrity.
How secure is the SHA256 hash?
SHA256 is considered secure and is widely used in cryptographic applications, but it is not immune to all forms of attack.
Can I hash large amounts of text?
Yes, the tool can handle large text inputs, but performance may vary based on the input size.
Is the generated hash reversible?
No, SHA256 is a one-way function, meaning the original text cannot be retrieved from the hash.
