How it works

  1. 1Type or paste text
  2. 2MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 are computed simultaneously
  3. 3Copy any hash you need

Who this is for

  • Verifying a file or string checksum
  • Generating a quick hash for cache-busting
  • Comparing hash output across languages during debugging

Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 or SHA-1 safe to use for passwords?
No — neither is suitable for password storage. Use a dedicated password-hashing function like bcrypt or Argon2 for that. These are provided for checksums and non-security use cases.
