Frequently Asked Questions
Does the file get uploaded anywhere?▾
No. The MD5 checksum is calculated entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your file never leaves your device.
Should I use MD5 or SHA-256 for file verification?▾
SHA-256 is more secure, but MD5 is fine for casual integrity checks. Use whichever matches the checksum provided by the file publisher.
