Hash Generator
Generate SHA-256, MD5, SHA-1, SHA-512 hashes of text locally in your browser. No uploads, no servers.
How it works
This tool runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API (SubtleCrypto) for SHA hashes and a local JavaScript implementation for MD5. Your text never leaves your device.
Quick tips
- Hashes are one-way — you cannot recover the original text from a hash.
- SHA-256 is the recommended general-purpose hash for verification.
- MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security-sensitive applications.
- Different algorithms produce different-length hashes: MD5 = 32 chars, SHA-1 = 40 chars, SHA-256 = 64 chars, SHA-512 = 128 chars.
