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
- Paste the text to hash, or click Compute hashes with the default sample.
- 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.
