Frequently asked questions
What is a hash?
A hash is a fixed-length string generated from any input. Same input always produces the same hash, but you cannot reverse a hash back to the original text. Used for passwords, integrity checks, and data fingerprints.
Which hash should I use?
For security, use SHA-256 or higher. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken and should only be used for non-security purposes (like file integrity checks). For password storage, use bcrypt/argon2 (not covered here).
Is my input sent anywhere?
No. SHA hashes use the browser's Web Crypto API. MD5 uses a local JS implementation. Nothing leaves your device.
Why is MD5 slower here than SHA-256?
MD5 is not in Web Crypto (deprecated by W3C for insecurity), so we use a pure-JS implementation. For most text it is still fast.
All tools are free, browser-based, and process files locally — your data never leaves your device.
