How to Use Hash Generator

  1. 1

    Select input type and algorithm

    Choose text input or file input, then pick MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 from the algorithm selector.

  2. 2

    Provide text or upload file

    Paste any text directly or upload a local file. File hashing uses FileReader and runs in-browser without sending data externally.

  3. 3

    Generate and copy hash output

    Click 'Generate Hash' to compute the digest and copy it with one button. A brief copied state confirms clipboard success.

  4. 4

    Use compare mode for verification

    Paste two hashes in compare mode to validate checksum matches. This is useful for file integrity checks and release verification workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which hash algorithms are available?
The tool supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 for both text and file hashing.
Can I hash files without uploading them?
Yes. Files are read locally with FileReader and hashed in-browser. The file contents are not sent to a server.
What is compare mode used for?
Compare mode lets you paste two hashes and instantly verify whether they match, which is useful for checksum validation.
Should I use MD5 for security-sensitive data?
No. MD5 is kept for compatibility checks only. Use SHA-256 or stronger algorithms for modern security use cases.
