Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes from any text.
A hash function converts input data of any size into a fixed-size string of characters. The same input always produces the same hash, but you cannot reverse a hash back to the original data.
SHA-256 is the most commonly recommended. SHA-1 is considered weak for security purposes. SHA-384 and SHA-512 provide longer hashes for higher security requirements.
Yes! We support MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. Note that MD5 is considered cryptographically broken — use SHA-256 or higher for security purposes.
Yes. Click the Generate All button to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 hashes simultaneously. This is useful for comparing hash outputs across algorithms.
No. Hashing is a one-way function — you cannot reverse a hash to get the original data. Encryption is two-way — encrypted data can be decrypted with the correct key. Hashing is used for verification, encryption for confidentiality.
