Hash Generator

One input, five digests: MD5 and the SHA family, computed locally in your browser.

About this tool

A cryptographic hash converts any input into a fixed-length fingerprint. Hashes are used to verify downloads and file integrity, to key caches, to deduplicate content and to sign data. This tool computes the most common digests — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 — from the same input in one click.

How to use it

  1. Paste the text to hash, or click Compute hashes with the default sample.
  2. Copy the digest for the algorithm your use case requires.

Good to know

  • Input is encoded as UTF-8 before hashing, so accented characters and emoji hash consistently across platforms.
  • MD5 and SHA-1 are fast but cryptographically broken — fine for checksums and legacy compatibility, never for signatures or security.
  • For passwords use a dedicated password-hashing scheme (bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2); plain SHA digests are far too fast for that job.
