Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes for any text instantly — all four algorithms simultaneously in one view. Uses the browser's native Web Cryptography API (SubtleCrypto) for SHA-256 and SHA-512. All processing is client-side; your text never leaves your browser.
How to Use the Hash Generator
- 1
Enter your text
Type or paste any string into the input field — a password, a file path, a message, or any data you want to hash.
- 2
View all four hashes
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes are all generated and displayed simultaneously in real time as you type.
- 3
Copy your hash
Click the copy button next to any hash to copy it to your clipboard.
- 4
Choose the right algorithm
Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security-sensitive applications. Avoid MD5 and SHA-1 for cryptographic use.
Key Features
Web Crypto API
SHA-256 and SHA-512 use the browser's native SubtleCrypto — the same engine used by security software.
4 Algorithms at Once
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 all generated simultaneously — no switching between tabs.
Real-Time Updates
All four hashes update instantly as you type, without pressing any button.
Pro Tips
For any security-sensitive application, use SHA-256 or SHA-512. MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken.
Never use these hash functions directly for password hashing — use bcrypt, Argon2id, or scrypt instead.
Command-line equivalent: echo -n "text" | sha256sum (the -n flag prevents a trailing newline from being hashed).
