SHA-256 File Checksum & Verifier
Generate a SHA-256 checksum for any deliverable and verify it against an expected value — the standard integrity check for media handoffs.
SHA-256 is the modern default for verifying that a file arrived intact: a single changed bit produces a completely different hash. Generate it on send, have the recipient regenerate it on receive, and compare — if they match, the multi-GB transfer is bit-perfect.
🔒 Files are hashed entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
