About File checksums

Calculate a SHA checksum for a local file without uploading its contents.

When to use it

Compare a local file with an expected checksum without uploading its contents.

File checksums example
Choose a file → SHA-256 → Calculate checksum

Compare the entire hexadecimal digest with a trusted reference.

How to use it

  1. Choose a file and SHA algorithm.
  2. Choose Calculate checksum.
  3. Compare or copy the hexadecimal digest.

Limits & privacy

Files up to 25 MiB are supported. A checksum detects differences; it does not prove who created a file or whether the file is safe.

Use this tool from the API reference or connect through the SDK, CLI, SSH, or MCP. Hosted calls share your plan allowances.
