Hash Generator

Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 & SHA-512 hashes from text or files — entirely in your browser.

Hash Generator

Type or paste text below to instantly generate cryptographic hashes. All processing happens in your browser — nothing is sent to any server.

Privacy: All hashing is done using the browser's native Web Crypto API (for SHA family) and a pure-JS MD5 implementation. Your text never leaves your device.

Paste two hashes to check if they match — useful for verifying downloaded file checksums.

Hash 1 (Expected)
Hash 2 (Actual)
Hash comparison is case-insensitive and ignores leading/trailing whitespace. Even a single character difference in the original file will produce a completely different hash.

What is a Hash Function?

A cryptographic hash function takes an input of any size and produces a fixed-size output (the "hash" or "digest"). The output is deterministic — the same input always produces the same hash — but even a tiny change in the input produces a completely different hash. This property, called the avalanche effect, makes hashes useful for verifying data integrity. Hash functions are one-way: it is computationally infeasible to reverse a hash back to its original input.
