Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online crc32 calculator.
CRC32 is a 32 bit cyclic redundancy check. It catches accidental changes in data very
reliably, but it is not a cryptographic hash.
They use different polynomials. CRC32 comes from zip, gzip and Ethernet, while CRC32C uses
the Castagnoli polynomial of iSCSI and ext4.
No. Anyone can recompute the checksum after editing the data, so CRC32 proves integrity
against accidents, not against an attacker.
CRC32 produces a 32 bit value, which is exactly four bytes or eight hexadecimal digits, for
example the well known cbf43926.
Choose the file and the tool reads it with FileReader, computes both CRC32 variants and shows
the byte count of the input.
Compare the hexadecimal value, and check that the byte count matches too, since a different
length always means different data.
No. Text and files are processed entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted or
stored.
Yes. It is completely free, works offline once loaded, and needs no account, no sign-up and
no installation.
