Hash Generator
Generate MD5 and SHA256 hashes from text online. Create checksums and verify data integrity.
How to Use
- • Enter the text you want to hash in the input field
- • Select the hash algorithm (SHA256 recommended for security)
- • Click "Generate Hash" to create the hash value
- • Use the copy button to copy the hash to your clipboard
Hash functions are cryptographic algorithms that convert input data into a fixed-size string of characters. They're widely used in computer science for data integrity verification, password storage, digital signatures, and blockchain technology.
Our hash generator supports MD5 and SHA256 algorithms. SHA256 is recommended for security-critical applications as it's more secure and resistant to collision attacks. MD5 is faster but should only be used for non-security purposes like checksums.
All hashing happens entirely in your browser, ensuring your data remains private and secure. Use for verifying data integrity, generating checksums, or working with cryptographic applications.
