About Hash Generator
A cryptographic hash function is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size string of bytes. Hash functions are designed to be one-way functions, making it practically impossible to invert or reverse the computation.
Supported Hash Algorithms:
- MD5 - Fast but cryptographically broken, suitable for checksums only
- SHA-1 - Older algorithm, no longer considered secure for cryptographic purposes
- SHA-256 - Part of the SHA-2 family, widely used for security applications
- SHA-384 - Stronger variant of SHA-2, outputs 384 bits
- SHA-512 - Strongest SHA-2 variant, outputs 512 bits
- SHA3-256 - Part of the newer SHA-3 family, outputs 256 bits
- SHA3-512 - Strongest SHA-3 variant, outputs 512 bits
- RIPEMD-160 - Alternative to SHA family, outputs 160 bits
- CRC32 - Cyclic Redundancy Check, used for error detection
Features:
- Generate hashes from text input or files
- Choose from multiple hash algorithms
- All processing happens in your browser - no data is sent to any server
- Compare results from different algorithms side by side
- Copy results to clipboard with one click
Use Cases:
- Verify file integrity after download
- Generate secure hashes for cryptographic applications
- Check if files have been modified
- Compare files without revealing their contents
- Generate checksums for data verification
Security Notice:
MD5 and SHA-1 are considered cryptographically broken and unsuitable for security applications. For security purposes, use SHA-256 or stronger algorithms. All processing happens in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
