I made this side tool to visualize SHA-256 while building a loyalty card wallet application to easily identify if a collected stamp is certified by the issuer by simply seeing it, instead of scanning something like a QR code or matching a serial number.

I think there are more potential use cases, like creating a random avatar based on an email address or something else. Feel free to share your feedback :)

Neat! Do you have a simple TLDR for how it was done? I'm assuming HTML canvas but would be curious to hear the mathematics behind it

I attached the GitHub link in the post too. You take a look at README to know more details. I hope it helps. Let me know if you have any question.
