Hash Generator

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512 for text and files.

Hash text or any file with MD5 and SHA algorithms – and verify downloads against a published checksum.

🔒 Hashing happens on your device – files are never uploaded.

How to use the hash generator

  1. Type text, or choose a file.
  2. Copy the hash you need.
  3. Paste a published checksum to verify a download.

Verifying downloads

Software sites publish SHA-256 checksums. If your file's hash matches, it wasn't corrupted or tampered with.

Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 secure?

No – use it only for checksums, never for passwords or security.

Is there a file size limit?

200 MB.

Can I hash passwords here?

You can, but real password storage needs slow, salted hashes like bcrypt or Argon2.
