How to use this text tool

  • Paste text to hash.
  • Choose an algorithm.
  • Compare the output with an existing hash if needed.
  • Copy or download the hash value.

What this tool does

Hashing converts text into a fixed-length digest that can be used for integrity checks, comparisons, and duplicate detection.

MD5 is generated locally by JavaScript. SHA algorithms use the browser Crypto API when available.

Hashes are one-way digests. Do not use MD5 or unsalted fast hashes for password storage.

Example

Input: hello → SHA-256: 2cf24dba5fb0a30e...

Use cases

  • Checking whether text changed
  • Generating checksums for snippets
  • Comparing two pasted values
  • Creating non-secret identifiers

Tips for better output

  • Use SHA-256 or stronger for integrity checks.
  • Use MD5 only for legacy checksums or duplicate detection.
  • Hash comparison is case-insensitive for hex values.
  • Do not use plain hashes for passwords.
