Hash Generator

Hash text or a local file with your choice of algorithm. MD5 and SHA-1 are clearly labeled as legacy — cryptographically broken for modern security use — while SHA-256/384/512 use the browser's native Web Crypto API.

Features

  • MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 — legacy algorithms clearly labeled
  • Hash text or a local file, processed entirely in your browser
  • Copy or download the digest

How to use

  1. Choose an algorithm.
  2. Type text, or select a file to hash instead.
  3. The digest appears automatically — copy or download it.

FAQ

Which algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 is a solid modern default for checksums and integrity verification. Reach for SHA-384 or SHA-512 for extra margin, and only use MD5 or SHA-1 when you specifically need compatibility with a legacy system.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Files are read and hashed entirely in your browser using the File API — never sent to a server.
