What is Hash Generator
Five digests in one click: hash pasted text — or a dropped file — with MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 and SHA-3 displayed side by side, each result individually copyable with a click. Everything computes locally in your browser, handy for verifying checksums, comparing fingerprints and debugging signatures.
How to use Hash Generator
- Type or paste the input text, or drop a file
- Click Generate to read all five digests at once
- Click to copy the hash you need
Frequently asked questions
Which hash should I use?
SHA-256 for integrity checks and checksums; MD5 and SHA-1 only for matching legacy systems — they are not collision-safe.
How long is each digest?
MD5 produces 32 hex characters (128 bits), SHA-1 40 (160 bits), SHA-256 64 (256 bits) and SHA-512 128 (512 bits).
Can I hash a file?
Yes — the optional file field digests the file contents directly, the quickest way to verify a download's checksum without pasting anything.
Is MD5 OK for storing passwords?
No — MD5 and SHA-1 are fast and collision-prone; password storage needs a salted slow hash like bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.
Is Hash Generator free?
Hash Generator is completely free — open the page and use every feature with no hidden charges.
