Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 hashes from any text
Generate cryptographic hashes from any text instantly. Supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 algorithms. Useful for verifying data integrity and security applications.
MD5
Enter text above to generate hash...
SHA-1
Enter text above to generate hash...
SHA-256
Enter text above to generate hash...
SHA-512
Enter text above to generate hash...
💡 Hashing is one-way — you cannot reverse a hash back to the original text. For password storage, always use bcrypt or Argon2 in your application.
Frequently Asked Questions
MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is faster but less secure. SHA-256 is cryptographically stronger and recommended for security applications.
No. Hashing is a one-way function — you cannot recover the original text from a hash.
No — hashes are computed entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API (for SHA-1/256/512) and a client-side MD5 implementation. Your text never leaves your device.
This tool hashes text you type or paste, not files. For checking a downloaded file's integrity, use a desktop checksum tool against the file itself.
