About the MD5 / SHA-256 Hash Generator

Content reviewed 6 August 2026

A cryptographic hash turns any input into a fixed-length fingerprint. The same input always produces the same hash, so hashes verify that a file or string hasn't changed β€” a checksum on a download, an integrity check on data.

This computes MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 in your browser. Note that MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security purposes β€” fine for checksums, never for passwords or signatures.

Frequently asked questions

Which hash should I use?+

For integrity checks and checksums, SHA-256 is the safe default. Avoid MD5 and SHA-1 for anything security-sensitive β€” they're broken against deliberate collisions, though still fine for detecting accidental corruption.

Can I reverse a hash to get the original text?+

No β€” hashing is one-way by design. You can only verify a guess by hashing it and comparing. That's why hashes are used to check integrity, not to store recoverable data.
