Hash Generator
Hash text, instantly.
Type or paste text to get its MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes at once — all in your browser.
What is the Hash Generator?
BYAFT's Hash Generator computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 hashes of any text, right in your browser. The SHA hashes use the browser's Web Crypto API; MD5 uses a built-in implementation — no sign-up, and nothing uploaded.
Use it to generate a checksum, create a cache key, or compare a value against a known hash.
How to use the Hash Generator
- 1Enter your textType or paste the text to hash.
- 2Read the hashesMD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 appear together.
- 3Copy a hashCopy whichever digest you need.
What you can use it for
- Generating a checksum for some text
- Creating a deterministic cache key
- Comparing a value against a known hash
- Producing a quick content fingerprint
Frequently asked questions
Which algorithms are supported?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. The SHA family uses Web Crypto; MD5 uses a built-in pure implementation.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Hashing runs entirely in your browser; your text never leaves your device.
Should I use MD5 or SHA-1 for security?
No — MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for checksums but are not collision-resistant. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security-sensitive work.
