Frequently Asked Questions

What hash algorithms are supported?

This tool supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512. You can generate one or all hash types simultaneously from any text input.

What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?

SHA-256 is more secure than MD5. MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is faster but has known vulnerabilities. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash and is recommended for security-sensitive applications.

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. All hash computation happens entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API and JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.

Can I hash an entire file?

Currently this tool accepts text input only. For file hashing, check our Hash Checker tool which supports file upload for verification.
