SHA-384 Hash Generator
This SHA-384 generator computes 384-bit digests from text or files entirely in your browser. The tool loads with SHA-384 selected, so pasting input shows the 96-character hex hash right away; HMAC keying, uppercase output, and file hashing are available from the same panel. SHA-384 belongs to the SHA-2 family and is derived from SHA-512 with a different initial state, which is why it shares SHA-512's 64-bit word operations while returning a shorter digest. It appears in TLS cipher suites and high-assurance profiles where a larger hash than SHA-256 is preferred. Because everything runs client-side in JavaScript, tokens, keys, and files are never uploaded or logged. Copy or download the digest instantly.

SHA-384: 384-bit hash value (96 hex characters)Frequently asked questions
What is SHA-384? +
SHA-384 is a truncated version of SHA-512 in the SHA-2 family, producing 384 bits of output. It is used in TLS cipher suites and high-assurance systems.
SHA-384 or SHA-256? +
SHA-384 offers a larger digest and more brute-force margin than SHA-256, at some cost in speed. Both are considered secure for integrity checks and signatures.
How long is a SHA-384 hash? +
384 bits, written as 96 hex characters. The value is computed with a different initial state than SHA-512, not merely cut from its output.
What hash algorithms does the tool support? +
This tool supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, and other common cryptographic hash functions.
Can I hash files as well as text? +
Yes. Paste text directly or upload a file and the tool generates the hash for the content.
Are hashes generated in the browser? +
Yes. All hashing happens locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server.
What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256? +
MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is considered cryptographically broken. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash and is currently secure. Use SHA-256 for security purposes.
