Hash Generator
Developer ToolsGenerate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes.
What is Hash Generator?
Hash Generator computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 digests for any text.
How to use Hash Generator
- 1 Paste the text to hash.
- 2 The digests update as you type.
- 3 Copy the hash you need.
Supported formats and limits
- Input: text
- Output: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512
- Runs in your browser
Common uses
- Verify that a file or string matches an expected hash.
- Generate a checksum for comparison.
- Produce a digest for non-security identifiers.
Things to know
- MD5 and SHA-1 are not suitable for security-sensitive use.
- Hashing is one-way; it cannot be reversed.
Privacy and file handling
Hashing is done in your browser; the input is never transmitted.
Frequently asked questions
Which hash should I use?
Use SHA-256 or stronger for security. MD5 and SHA-1 are fast but no longer considered secure.
Can I decrypt a hash?
No. Hashing is one-way by design and cannot be reversed.
Which hash algorithms are supported?
Common algorithms such as MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512.
Can a hash be reversed to the original text?
No. Hashing is one-way: the same input always produces the same hash, but the hash cannot be turned back into the input.
