Enter text and get cryptographic hashes in multiple algorithms instantly. Supports SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-384, SHA-512, and MD5. All hashing runs locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API.
Open Hash GeneratorWhat Does the Hash Generator Do?
Cryptographic hash functions turn any input into a fixed-length string of characters. They are used to verify file integrity, store passwords securely, generate checksums, and create digital signatures. This tool computes hashes for your text in multiple algorithms simultaneously.
- SHA-256 — the most widely used secure hash (64 hex characters)
- SHA-1 — legacy hash still used in some systems (40 hex characters)
- SHA-384 and SHA-512 — stronger variants of SHA-2
- MD5 — fast legacy hash for checksums (32 hex characters)
- One-click copy for each hash value

Frequently Asked Questions
- Which hash algorithms are supported?
- The tool supports SHA-256, SHA-1, SHA-384, and SHA-512 via the Web Crypto API. MD5 is also available for compatibility, though it is no longer considered secure.
- Is my data sent to a server for hashing?
- No. All hashing is performed in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your data never leaves your device.
- What is the difference between SHA-256 and MD5?
- SHA-256 produces a 256-bit (64-character hex) hash and is considered secure. MD5 produces a 128-bit (32-character hex) hash but has known collision vulnerabilities and should not be used for security purposes.
