Frequently Asked Questions
No. MD5 and SHA-1 are unsuitable for password storage. Prefer modern password hashing (Argon2, bcrypt, scrypt) on the server. This tool is for checksums and non-security digests.
SHA-1 and SHA-256 use the Web Crypto SubtleCrypto API. MD5 uses a compact client-side implementation for legacy checksum compatibility.
Generate Common Message Digests
Hashing turns arbitrary text into a fixed-length digest. Developers use hashes to verify file integrity, compare content without storing originals, and debug checksum mismatches.
MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 Together
Paste text once and get all three digests. Processing stays in your browser so sample secrets and tokens are not uploaded to a third-party service.
