Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 hashes from text.
What is Hashing?
A hash function converts input data into a fixed-size string of characters. The same input always produces the same hash, but it's practically impossible to reverse the process.
Hash Algorithm Comparison
- MD5: 128-bit, fast but not secure for cryptography.
- SHA-1: 160-bit, deprecated for security use.
- SHA-256: 256-bit, widely used, secure for most purposes.
- SHA-512: 512-bit, highest security, slower.
Common Uses
Password storage, file integrity verification, digital signatures, and blockchain technology.
