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
- Enter or paste the input text.
- Select the hash algorithm.
- View the hex or uppercase output.
- 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.
