<figure><img src="/files/hu8bOtULSusZm5TsD9GM" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Hashing can be practiced with online [**hash calculators**](https://hash-calculator.bsvb.tech). These allow you to **take any file from your computer or enter any text and generate a unique code that represents it**.

You can **experiment by changing something in the file or the text and you will see that the result is completely different.** Then restore the original content and you will see that the original unique code appears again.
