Verifying an APK’s SHA-256 ensures the file you install is exactly the one that was published—no hidden changes, no corruption. It takes under a minute on most devices and should be part of every clean install or update.

Get the published hash

Copy the SHA-256 value shown on the table in the homepage. You’ll compare your local result to this exact string.

Compute the SHA-256 for your file

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-FileHash -Algorithm SHA256 "C:\Users\You\Downloads\1xbet.apk"

The hash appears under Hash. Quote the path if it has spaces. Legacy alternative:

certutil -hashfile "C:\Users\You\Downloads\1xbet.apk" SHA256

macOS (Terminal)

shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/1xbet.apk

Alternatively on newer macOS:

shasum --algorithm 256 ~/Downloads/1xbet.apk

Linux (Terminal)

sha256sum ~/Downloads/1xbet.apk

Android (two options)

A) Termux (terminal app): install Termux → open:

pkg update
pkg install coreutils
sha256sum /sdcard/Download/1xbet.apk

B) Hash checker app: install a reputable hash checker from Play, open the APK from Downloads, and read the SHA-256. Avoid uploading your APK to web-based hash sites for privacy.

Compare the result

Match the entire hexadecimal string with the published value. Case (upper/lower) doesn’t matter; whitespace should be ignored. If it’s not an exact match, do not install—re-download and repeat the check.

If the hash doesn’t match

  • Delete the file and download it again over a stable connection.
  • Ensure you hashed the correct file path (e.g., Download vs Downloads).
  • Avoid third-party mirrors and “accelerators.”
  • Reboot if the file manager or browser misbehaves, then verify again.

Good to know

  • Renaming the APK doesn’t change the hash.
  • Even tiny changes (corruption or tampering) change the hash completely.
  • When upgrading in place, a matching signature is still required; if Android shows App not installed, see the errors guide.
