Calculate the standard reflected CRC-32/ISO-HDLC checksum of UTF-8 text online

Calculate the standard reflected CRC-32/ISO-HDLC checksum of UTF-8 text. Use this when inspecting or preparing text and structured data. Test the included sample first, then replace it with a small representative part of your own input.

How to use it

Paste your input. Choose Run tool and review the result. Copy or download the output when it matches your requirements.

Worked examples

Use this when inspecting or preparing text and structured data. Test the included sample first, then replace it with a small representative part of your own input.

Reproducible sample

Settings: No additional settings.

Input:

123456789

With the settings above, the output is:

Output:

{
  "hex": "cbf43926",
  "decimal": 3421780262
}

For this input, “decimal” is 3421780262. These are the named fields in the example output.

Choose the right tool

CRC-32 is useful for detecting accidental corruption. It is not a cryptographic authenticity check and should not replace a secure digest or an HMAC for security decisions.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • CRC-32 detects accidental changes; it provides no cryptographic security.
  • Inputs are limited to 250,000 characters in total. Invalid input is reported rather than silently corrected.

Frequently asked questions

How can I check the result?

Run the fixed worked example with the documented settings, compare its output, then check your own input format and units before copying a result.

Does this require an account?

No. This bundled tool runs in your browser without a conversion account.

How can I compute the standard reflected CRC-32/ISO-HDLC checksum of UTF-8 text online?

Paste your input. Choose Run tool and review the result. Copy or download the output when it matches your requirements.

Where is my input processed?

The bundled tool processes input in your browser. It does not upload tool input to a conversion service. Other site plugins, analytics, advertising and browser extensions may have separate behavior.
