Hash text in your browser to MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256. Copy the digest you need. Nothing is uploaded.

How to use this hash generator

  1. Type or paste the text. Digests update as you type.
  2. Copy MD5, SHA-1, or SHA-256. All three are shown at once.
  3. Do not use these hashes as passwords. If you need a password, use the password generator.

The input is encoded as UTF-8 before hashing.

Frequently asked questions

Does this hash generator upload my text?

No. The hashes are computed in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

What encoding is used?

UTF-8. The same characters always produce the same digests on this page.

Can I use MD5 or SHA-1 for passwords?

No. They are not for storing or choosing passwords. Use the password generator when you need a password.

Which hash should I use for integrity?

SHA-256. Use it when you need a digest to check that text has not changed.

Can I turn a hash back into the original text?

No. Hashes are one-way. Matching a digest does not mean this page can recover what you typed.
