SRI Hash Generator

Generate Subresource Integrity (SRI) hashes for JavaScript and CSS files. Create SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes for CDN security and integrity verification.

Privacy & Security

All hash generation is performed locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your data never leaves your device.

Enter the URL of a JavaScript or CSS file hosted on a CDN or external server.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the SRI Hash Generator

Subresource Integrity (SRI) ensures external resources (CDN JS/CSS) haven't been tampered with. Browser verifies file hash matches integrity attribute before executing. Example: <script src="cdn.com/lib.js" integrity="sha384-abc123..." crossorigin="anonymous"></script>. If file modified (CDN compromise, MITM attack), hash won't match - browser blocks execution. Benefits: prevent CDN compromise, detect file modifications, supply chain security, compliance requirements (PCI DSS). Required for: external resources from CDN, third-party libraries, cross-origin files. W3C standard, supported by all modern browsers. This tool generates SRI hashes for any JS/CSS file instantly.
