How to Use

Enter your text below to generate a hash using the selected algorithm. Hash functions convert input text into fixed-length strings that uniquely represent the input. They are commonly used for data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures.

MD5: 128-bit hash (not cryptographically secure)
SHA-1: 160-bit hash (not cryptographically secure)
SHA-256: 256-bit hash (recommended for most purposes)
SHA-512: 512-bit hash (higher security for sensitive data)

FAQ

Which hash algorithm should I use?

SHA-256 is recommended for most security purposes. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered less secure for cryptographic applications.

Can I reverse a hash?

No, hashing is a one-way function. It's not possible to reverse a hash to get the original text.

Is this tool free?

Yes, this tool is completely free to use.
