Free online hash generator — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512

Paste any string and instantly generate its MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512 hash. All hashing runs locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API — nothing is sent to a server.

Useful for checksums, verifying data integrity, debugging authentication flows, or quickly generating a hash during development.

Common use cases

  • Generate SHA-256 hashes for API authentication signatures
  • Verify MD5 checksums for file integrity checks
  • Hash passwords or tokens during development and testing
  • Debug HMAC or signature mismatches in API integrations

FAQ

Is my input sent to a server?

No. SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 use the browser's native Web Crypto API. MD5 runs via a pure JavaScript implementation. Nothing leaves your browser.

Is MD5 secure?

MD5 is not recommended for security-sensitive use cases. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for anything involving passwords or sensitive data.

What is SHA-256 used for?

SHA-256 is widely used for API authentication signatures, file integrity verification, and as part of TLS and certificate chains.
