Security Recommendations
- AvoidMD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken
- RecommendedUse SHA-256 for most applications
- High SecurityUse SHA-384 or SHA-512 for high-security needs
- NoteAlways use proper salt for password hashing
About Hash Generator
The Hash Generator computes cryptographic hashes from text using algorithms including MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of the input: the same input always produces the same hash, but you can't reverse the hash back to the original.
Hashes are used to verify file integrity, store password digests, and create checksums. Hashing runs locally in your browser, so the text you hash is never sent anywhere.
