How to generate a hash
- Type text, or choose a file.
- All hashes are calculated instantly.
- Copy the one you need, or compare it with the published checksum.
Frequently asked questions
- Q. Which hash should I use?
- Use SHA-256 for checksums and integrity. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security (collisions can be forged) but still fine for detecting accidental corruption.
- Q. Can I hash a password with this?
- Not for storage. Passwords need a slow, salted algorithm such as Argon2, bcrypt or scrypt – a plain SHA-256 is too fast to crack-proof.
