01
Before you start
The file picker accepts: text/plain, */*. The contents and encoding of the file must also be supported; an extension alone does not guarantee compatibility.
02
What to expect
Compare the result with a reference made using the same algorithm and the same input. A changed byte or line ending changes the digest. A matching checksum does not, by itself, establish who created a file.
03
Limits to keep in mind
Adler-32 detects accidental errors; it is not a cryptographic digest.
