Questions
How do I check a download?
Choose File, drop the downloaded file and compare the SHA-256 value with the checksum published by the website. If they match, the file is intact.
Is MD5 secure?
No. MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for checking files but should not be used for passwords or security. Use SHA-256 or stronger.
Is my file uploaded?
No. Hashing happens in your browser, even for large files.
Can a hash be reversed?
No. A hash is a one-way fingerprint. You cannot get the original text back from it.
