Hash Generator

Generate MD5, SHA1, SHA256 from any input text.

Hash Usage Tips

  • Use SHA256 for most security-sensitive applications
  • MD5 is faster but less secure than SHA algorithms
  • Hashes are one-way functions and cannot be reversed
  • For password storage, use specialized algorithms like bcrypt

Common Hash Applications

  • File integrity verification
  • Digital signatures
  • Data deduplication
  • Blockchain technology

About Hash Functions

Hash functions are mathematical algorithms that convert data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters. They have several important properties:

  • They produce the same output for the same input every time
  • Even a small change in the input produces a completely different hash
  • It's computationally infeasible to find two different inputs that produce the same hash
  • It's practically impossible to reverse a hash to find the original input

This hash generator creates MD5, SHA1, and SHA256 hashes from your input text. All hash generation happens directly in your browser - no data is sent over the internet or stored on our servers.
