What is Hash Generator?
A hash function maps input of any length to a fixed-length fingerprint. SHA-256 and SHA-512 are recommended for new code; MD5 and SHA-1 are kept for legacy compatibility only.
How to use
- Type or paste your text.
- All algorithms are computed instantly.
- Copy the digest you need.
Frequently asked questions
Is MD5 secure?
No. MD5 is broken for collision resistance. Use it only for non-security checksums.
Should I use SHA-256 or SHA-512?
Both are secure. SHA-256 is faster on 32-bit hardware; SHA-512 is faster on 64-bit. Either is fine.
Does it support file hashing?
Text input only in this release. File hashing is on the roadmap.
