About hashing
A hash maps any input to a fixed-length fingerprint. The same input always gives the same hash, but you can't reverse it — useful for integrity checks, checksums and cache keys.
This tool computes several algorithms at once. Note that MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security purposes (collisions are feasible) — use them only for non-security checksums, and prefer SHA-256 or higher otherwise. For password storage, never use a plain hash; use bcrypt. Everything is computed in your browser.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Which algorithms are supported?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 — all computed at once as you type.
Are MD5 and SHA-1 safe?
Not for security — both are broken (collisions are feasible). Use them only for non-security checksums; prefer SHA-256 or higher otherwise.
Can I use this for passwords?
No. Plain hashes are unsuitable for password storage — use bcrypt instead. This tool is for checksums and integrity.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser (Web Crypto for SHA, pure JS for MD5).
