Hash Decoder
Decode MD5, SHA1, SHA256 hash codes to plain text.
Common Wordlists
Select a wordlist to use for decoding. The decoder will try to match your hash against these common words.

Hash Decoding Tips
- Hash decoding is a dictionary-based approach
- Not all hashes can be decoded if they're not in our database
- Try different wordlists for better results
- Complex or salted hashes are much harder to decode
About Hash Decoding
Hash functions are one-way mathematical algorithms designed to be irreversible. However, it's possible to "decode" hashes through these methods:
- Dictionary attacks - comparing the hash against a list of pre-computed hashes
- Rainbow tables - using precomputed tables for reversing cryptographic hash functions
- Brute force - trying every possible combination until a match is found
This tool uses a dictionary-based approach to attempt to decode common hashes. It works best with:
- Common words and phrases
- Simple passwords
- Numbers and basic combinations
All hash decoding happens directly in your browser - no data is sent over the internet or stored on our servers. For security reasons, this tool has a limited dictionary. For more comprehensive hash decoding, consider specialized offline tools.
