Hash Generator

What is a Hash Function?

Hash functions are cryptographic algorithms that transform input data into a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a hexadecimal number. They are widely used for data integrity, password storage, digital signatures, and more. Common hash algorithms include MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and RIPEMD-160.

How to use this tool

  1. Select hash type: Choose the desired hash algorithm above (default is SHA-256).
  2. Enter input: Paste or type your text in the input box.
  3. Automatic hashing: The tool will automatically compute the hash as you type.
  4. Copy result: Easily copy the hash output with a single click.

Supported Algorithms

  • SHA-256: Secure Hash Algorithm 256-bit (recommended for most uses)
  • SHA-512: Secure Hash Algorithm 512-bit
  • SHA-1: Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (legacy, not recommended for security)
  • MD5: Message Digest 5 (legacy, not recommended for security)
  • RIPEMD-160: RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation Message Digest
