Hash Generator (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
Hash text or files for quick verification.
Results
Enter text or pick a file to see hashes.
MD5 and SHA-1 are for integrity checks only — never for passwords or digital signatures.
Text and files are hashed in the browser. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use
Four short steps to use Hash Generator (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512). No file uploads and no account needed.
- 1
Paste text, or pick a file from your device.
- 2
Choose an algorithm: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512.
- 3
Compare the hexadecimal result with the reference checksum.
- 4
Copy the hash you need for documentation or a ticket.
Key features
- Five algorithms in one tool: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512.
- Text and binary file support with no uploads.
- Hexadecimal output with a copy button per algorithm.
- Explicit warning that MD5/SHA-1 are not recommended for security.
- Runs locally using WebCrypto, with MD5 implemented in-house.
FAQ
Is my file uploaded?
No. The file is read into browser memory and hashed there. No request carries the file content.
Is MD5 still safe?
For download integrity checks it is adequate. For security purposes such as signatures or password storage, use SHA-256 or stronger, or a dedicated password algorithm.
Why does my file hash differ from the one on the download page?
The download may be incomplete, the file may have changed since publishing, or the reference uses a different algorithm. Make sure you picked the same algorithm.
What is the maximum file size?
Practically a few hundred megabytes, depending on device memory. For very large files use a command-line utility such as sha256sum.
About Hash Generator (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
Hash Generator computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 in the browser, for pasted text or for files picked from your device. Results appear in hexadecimal and are one click from the clipboard, so the tool fits checksum comparisons, file-integrity checks, and pre-transfer verification. Neither text nor file content leaves the device, and the tool states plainly when an algorithm is unsuitable for security work.
