Hash Generator

Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes from any text. Runs in your browser.

About hashes

  • MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken, fine for file checksums, but never use them for passwords or signatures.
  • SHA-256 and SHA-512 are still considered secure for general hashing needs.
  • For password storage, use bcrypt, argon2 or scrypt, not plain SHA.
  • All hashing happens locally via the Web Crypto API and a small MD5 library; your text never leaves the browser.
