How to use this hash generator

Paste text and pick an algorithm. SHA family hashes use the Web Crypto API. MD5 uses a compact local implementation because browsers do not expose MD5.

Hashes are one-way. Use this for checksums and cache keys, not for storing passwords—use a password hashing scheme such as Argon2 or bcrypt on a server.

Frequently asked questions

Which hash algorithms are included?

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512 for new work.

Is MD5 secure?

No for security. It is still used for casual checksums. Do not use MD5 or SHA-1 for signatures or password storage.

Is the text hashed locally?

Processed locally in your browser. We do not upload the text to compute a result.

Hex or Base64?

Output is lowercase hex. Encode the hex as you like with the Base64 encoder if a system wants Base64.
