Hash Generator

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512, computed as you type.

How to use

Type or paste text - all four hashes (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512) compute live below it, debounced slightly so it doesn't recompute on every single keystroke.

FAQ

Are MD5 and SHA-1 safe to use for security?

No, both are cryptographically broken for security purposes - they're included here for compatibility/checksum use, not because they're still recommended choices.

Why does this need a server round trip if it's just hashing?

Python's hashlib is what actually computes MD5 here - the browser's own SubtleCrypto.digest() doesn't implement MD5 at all, so that one algorithm needs the backend.

Is my text stored anywhere?

No, it's hashed for the request and not retained.
