HMAC Generator

Compute HMAC-SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 message authentication codes from a message and secret key.

About this tool

Generate HMAC digests for webhook signature verification (Stripe, GitHub, Slack), API auth debugging, and JWT HS* sanity checks. All crypto runs locally — your secret key is never sent to a server.

What you get

  • HMAC-SHA-256 hex digest
  • HMAC-SHA-384 hex digest
  • HMAC-SHA-512 hex digest
  • Live update when message or key changes
  • One-click copy per algorithm
  • Side-by-side comparison of all three digests

How to use

Enter the message and secret key, then copy the HMAC hex string your service expects for the chosen algorithm.

FAQ

How to generate HMAC-SHA256 online?

Enter the message and secret key, then copy the SHA-256 HMAC hex digest. SHA-384 and SHA-512 are shown in the same view.

What is HMAC used for?

HMAC proves a message was signed with a shared secret—common for webhook signatures, API auth, and HS* JWT sanity checks.

Which HMAC algorithm should I use?

Prefer HMAC-SHA256 for new integrations. SHA-384 and SHA-512 offer longer digests when a service explicitly requires them.

How to verify webhook signatures with HMAC?

Compute HMAC over the raw request body with your endpoint secret and compare the hex digest to the provider's signature header.

How to generate Stripe-style webhook HMAC signature?

Paste the raw JSON body and your endpoint signing secret, then compare the SHA-256 HMAC hex output to the provider's signature header value.
