SHA-256 Encrypt / Decrypt Tool

🔐 SHA-256 Encrypt / Decrypt Tool

SHA-256 Encrypt / Decrypt Tool is a fast, secure, and easy-to-use Chrome extension for generating SHA-256 hashes and verifying hash values directly from your browser.

With this extension, you can instantly convert plain text into a SHA-256 hash using Chrome’s built-in cryptography engine. It also allows you to compare a plain text value against an existing SHA-256 hash to verify whether they match — a common requirement in development, security checks, and data validation workflows.

🔒 Built for security and privacy, all hashing operations are performed locally on your device. No data is sent to any server, no tracking is used, and no permissions are required.

⚠️ Important: SHA-256 is a one-way hashing algorithm and cannot be decrypted. This extension follows correct cryptographic practices by generating and comparing hashes rather than attempting unsafe or inaccurate decryption.
