Hash Generator
Generate cryptographic hashes using MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 algorithms
Hash Generator
Enter text and select an algorithm to generate cryptographic hashes
256 bits • Strong - Recommended
Hash Algorithms
MD5
Fast 128-bit hash. Not secure for cryptographic use but good for checksums.
SHA-1
160-bit hash. Deprecated for security due to collision vulnerabilities.
SHA-256
256-bit hash. Current industry standard for security applications.
SHA-512
512-bit hash. Maximum security with longer output length.
Use Cases
Data Integrity
Verify files haven't been corrupted during transfer or storage
Password Hashing
Store password hashes instead of plain text (use salt and iterations)
Digital Signatures
Create unique fingerprints for documents and files
Blockchain & Mining
Foundation of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies
Security Tips
- • Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security-critical applications
- • MD5 and SHA-1 are deprecated for security use
- • Always use salt when hashing passwords
- • Hash comparison is case-insensitive
