Hash Generator

Generate secure hash values for text and files using MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and other algorithms.

Hash Algorithms Explained

MD5

128-bit hash, fast but cryptographically broken. Not recommended for security.

Length: 32 characters

SHA-1

160-bit hash, faster than SHA-256 but considered weak for cryptographic use.

Length: 40 characters

SHA-256

256-bit hash, widely used and considered secure for most applications.

Length: 64 characters

SHA-512

512-bit hash, even more secure than SHA-256 with larger output.

Length: 128 characters

SHA-3

Newer hash function, different design from SHA-2 family.

Length: 64 characters

RIPEMD-160

160-bit hash, alternative to SHA-1 with similar security properties.

Length: 40 characters
