๐ Hash Generator
Compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes from text. Useful for checking file integrity, testing password hashing behavior, or learning how API request signing works.
How to use
- Enter the text you want to hash into the input box.
- MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 values are computed and shown in real time.
- Toggle uppercase if needed, and click "Copy" to copy a value.
FAQ
I've heard MD5 isn't safe anymore โ is that true?
Yes. MD5 and SHA-1 are vulnerable to collision attacks and aren't recommended for security purposes like password storage. Use them only for non-security checks, and prefer SHA-256 or stronger for anything security-related.
Is my input text sent to a server?
No โ everything is computed in your browser, so your input never leaves your device.
Can it hash a file?
This tool hashes text you type or paste in. To hash a file's contents, you'd need its content in a form you can paste as text.
Can I use this for storing passwords?
This tool is meant for testing and learning. For real password storage, use a purpose-built algorithm like bcrypt or Argon2 with a proper salt.
Does the same text always give the same hash?
Yes โ a hash function is deterministic, so identical input always produces identical output. Changing even one character produces a very different result.
