MD5 / SHA-256 Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 for any text. Input is encoded as UTF-8 before hashing, so results match command-line tools and online verifiers.
Good to know
- MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security; use SHA-256 or better for anything that matters.
Common questions
Why does MD5 of é differ from another tool?
Input encoding. This tool hashes UTF-8 bytes; tools that use Latin-1 produce a different digest for the same visible text.
Which hash should I use?
SHA-256 or stronger for anything security-related. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for collision resistance.
Are the hashes salted?
No. These are plain digests. For passwords use a dedicated algorithm such as Argon2 or bcrypt with a salt.
Is this tool really free?
Yes. There is no account, no paywall and no usage limit. Tools App is funded by aumenso, the studio behind it.
Is anything I enter uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser tab; what you enter is never sent to us and never stored.
