WHAT IS
HMAC GENERATOR & CALCULATOR?

100% Client-Side
Zero Latency
Zero Data Logs

HMAC Generator & Calculator computes Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) signatures using Web Crypto standard algorithms including SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-384, and SHA-1. It supports Hex, Base64, and Base64URL output encodings and UTF-8, Hex, or Base64 secret keys.

When to use it

  • →Testing and validating GitHub, Stripe, Shopify, Twilio, and Razorpay webhook payload signatures
  • →Debugging REST API request signing mechanisms (e.g., AWS V4 signatures or custom API headers)
  • →Verifying message integrity between distributed microservices
  • →Generating sample Node.js and Python verification code for backend handlers

Key Features

  • ·Supports SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-384, and SHA-1 hash algorithms
  • ·Flexible secret key encodings: Plain Text (UTF-8), Hexadecimal, and Base64
  • ·Multiple output formats: Lowercase Hex, Uppercase Hex, Base64, and URL-safe Base64URL
  • ·Pre-built preset configurations for Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify webhooks
  • ·100% Client-Side Web Crypto API execution — your secret keys never leave your device
Developer TipFor GitHub webhooks, choose HMAC-SHA256 with Hex (lowercase) output format to match the X-Hub-Signature-256 header!

Privacy & Security Guarantee

WHY IN-BROWSER PROCESSING MATTERS FOR DEVELOPERS

Many online formatters and decoders send your code, JSON payloads, auth tokens, and database schemas to backend servers where they can be cached, logged, or intercepted. ToolBox4Devs guarantees that all processing for HMAC Generator & Calculator runs entirely in your browser's JavaScript V8 engine.
