About This Tool

Computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes from text as you type, all locally using the Web Crypto API. MD5 and SHA-1 are only good for checksums at this point; use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for anything security-sensitive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hash algorithms are supported?+
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 are all computed simultaneously as you type.
Is my text sent to a server to compute the hash?+
No. All hashing happens locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API (and a pure JavaScript MD5 implementation, since MD5 isn't part of the Web Crypto standard).
Should I use MD5 for security-sensitive purposes?+
No. MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and only suitable for checksums or legacy compatibility. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for anything security-related.
