FAQ
Is MD5 safe to use?
Not for security purposes — MD5 is cryptographically broken and unsuitable for passwords or signatures. It's included here for legacy checksum compatibility only. For anything security-sensitive, use SHA-256 or stronger.
Why does SHA-256 show a different length than SHA-1?
Each algorithm produces a fixed-length digest — SHA-1 is 160 bits (40 hex characters), SHA-256 is 256 bits (64 hex characters), and so on.
Can I hash a file instead of text?
Not yet — this version hashes typed or pasted text only.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — hashing happens locally using the browser's Web Crypto API (and a local MD5 implementation), with no network request involved.
How we compare
| Feature | Online Tool Store | Command-line (openssl/md5sum) | Other online hash tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| No terminal required | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ |
| Five algorithms shown at once | ✓ | ✗ | ✗ |
| No file upload — runs in your browser | ✓ | ✓ | ✗ |
Command-line tools hash one algorithm at a time and require opening a terminal. Hash Generator shows all five at once, live as you type.
