Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 hashes of any text.
About Hash Generator
Hash Generator computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 digests of text, so you can verify a checksum or compare two values without uploading the content.
Hashes are one-way: the same input always gives the same digest, and any change produces a completely different one.
How to use Hash Generator
- 1
Paste the text
The digest updates as you type.
- 2
Pick an algorithm
SHA-256 for integrity checks; MD5 only for legacy comparisons.
- 3
Copy the digest
Compare with the published checksum character by character.
Questions about Hash Generator
Can I use MD5 for passwords?
No. MD5 and SHA-1 are fast and broken for password storage — use bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.
Why do two hashes differ for the same text?
Usually a trailing newline or invisible whitespace. Hashes are exact.
Is hashing encryption?
No. It cannot be reversed; only guessed by trying inputs.
Is my input sent anywhere?
No, hashing runs in the browser.
