About the Hash Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes for any text input. Choose from MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 or SHA-512 algorithms. Paste an expected hash to verify a match — useful for file integrity checks.

How to use the Hash Generator

  1. Enter or paste the input text.
  2. Select the hash algorithm.
  3. View the hex or uppercase output.
  4. Optionally paste a hash to compare.

Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 still safe to use?

MD5 is cryptographically broken for collision resistance. Use it only for non-security purposes (checksums, deduplication). For security, use SHA-256 or better.

What is the difference between SHA-256 and SHA-512?

SHA-256 produces a 256-bit (64 hex character) hash; SHA-512 produces 512 bits (128 hex characters). SHA-512 is slightly faster on 64-bit CPUs.

Can I hash files?

This tool hashes text input. For file hashing, use a command-line tool like sha256sum or certutil.
