Entropy Analyzer

v1.2.1

Estimate entropy characteristics of text and binary-like input samples.

Estimates the entropy (randomness) of text or binary-like strings — calculates Shannon entropy per byte, visualises the byte frequency distribution, and flags low-entropy inputs.

How to use
  • Paste text or paste hex/base64-encoded data into the input.
  • High entropy (~7–8 bits/byte) means the data looks random; low entropy suggests structure or repetition.
  • Use this to evaluate passwords, encryption keys, or suspicious file contents.
