💡 What is this
Hash Generator
  • Generates cryptographic hash digests (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) from text input.
  • SHA-256 and SHA-512 use the browser's native Web Crypto API for maximum security.
  • MD5 uses a lightweight JavaScript implementation.

  
📖 How to use
Step by Step
  • Enter or paste text in the input field
  • Select the hash algorithm from the dropdown
  • Click Generate Hash to compute the digest
  • Copy the resulting hex string

  
🎯 Use cases
When to use
  • Verifying file integrity with checksums
  • Creating content fingerprints
  • Comparing data without revealing originals
  • Generating cache-busting keys






Frequently Asked Questions

  
Is my data sent to a server?▾
No. All hashing is done entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API (for SHA) or a pure JavaScript MD5 implementation. No data ever leaves your device.

  
Is MD5 secure?▾
MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security. It's still useful for checksums and non-security fingerprinting. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security.

  
Can I hash files?▾
Currently this tool hashes text input. For file hashing, you can paste file contents or use a dedicated file hash tool.
