Hash Generator Online
Use this free online Hash Generator tool to generate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 cryptographic hashes from any text — instantly, in your browser.
How it works & FAQ
Why this is secure?
Hash computation runs in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your text is never transmitted to any server.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Paste or type the text you want to hash into the input field.
- 2Select the hash algorithm: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, or SHA-512.
- 3Copy the resulting hash value to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which hash algorithms are supported?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are all available.
Are MD5 and SHA-1 safe to use?
MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically broken for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for any security-sensitive hashing.
Is this tool suitable for hashing passwords?
No — raw SHA hashes are too fast for password hashing. Use a slow algorithm like bcrypt, Argon2, or scrypt for passwords.
All hashing runs locally via the Web Crypto API. Your input text never leaves your browser.
