Is my text sent to a server?

No. All hashing is done locally in your browser using the built-in WebCrypto API. Your input never leaves your device.

What is the output length of SHA-384?

SHA-384 always produces a 384-bit digest, displayed as 96 lowercase hexadecimal characters regardless of input length.

How is SHA-384 different from SHA-256 or SHA-512?

SHA-384 is a truncated variant of SHA-512. It offers a larger digest than SHA-256 (384 vs 256 bits) and is slightly faster than SHA-512 on 64-bit CPUs because both share the same internal computation.

Can I hash an empty string?

Yes. The SHA-384 hash of an empty string is a fixed, well-known value: 38b060a751ac96384cd9327eb1b1e36a21fdb71114be07434c0cc7bf63f6e1da274edebfe76f65fbd51ad2f14898b95b.

Is SHA-384 suitable for password hashing?

No. Cryptographic hash functions like SHA-384 are designed to be fast, which makes them unsuitable for storing passwords. Use a dedicated password-hashing algorithm such as bcrypt or Argon2 instead.
