Input text to hash

Paste any text or string here to generate a hash using the algorithm you select. Processing is 100% in-browser for speed and privacy.[web:190][web:193][web:197]

Generated hash

Copy the hash and use it for checksums, integrity checks, or as part of your development workflow. Do not rely on MD5/SHA1 for modern password security.[web:183][web:186][web:197]

What is a hash generator used for?

Hash generators create fixed-length fingerprints from input data, which are commonly used to verify file integrity, compare data quickly, and store non-reversible representations of values.[web:183][web:186][web:190]

MD5 vs SHA1 vs SHA256 vs SHA512

  • MD5 and SHA1 are fast but considered weak for password security; they remain useful for basic checksums and legacy systems.[web:183][web:186][web:193]
  • SHA256 and SHA512 provide stronger hashes that are more resistant to collisions and widely used in APIs, SSL, and modern applications.[web:186][web:190][web:202]
  • For secure password storage, dedicated algorithms like bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 are recommended instead of plain hash functions.[web:183][web:186]
