Hash compare
How it works
Each side is UTF-8 encoded and hashed with SHA-256 or SHA-512 via Web Crypto. The page compares the hexadecimal digests.
Edge cases
- Hidden whitespace or BOM characters can break otherwise valid input.
- Line-ending differences (LF vs CRLF) may affect strict comparisons.
- Large payloads are best tested in chunks to isolate the failing part.
Use this tool for
- Formatting or minifying snippets before pasting into a repo or ticket.
- Checking encodings (Base64, hex, URL) without third-party paste services.
- One-off developer checks during debugging.
