Hash text
Hash a text string using the function you need : MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA224, SHA512, SHA384, SHA3 or RIPEMD160
Your text to hash:
Digest encoding
Usage Guide & Notes
- Enter your text in the input area
- Select your preferred encoding format (Hexadecimal, Base64, Binary, or Base64url)
- View the hash results for different algorithms
- Click the copy button to copy any hash to clipboard
- MD5: A 128-bit hash function that is fast but no longer considered secure against collision attacks.
- SHA1: A 160-bit hash function that is widely used but also considered cryptographically broken.
- SHA256: Part of the SHA-2 family, provides 256-bit security and is widely used in security applications and protocols.
- SHA224: Another member of the SHA-2, provides 224-bit output.
- SHA512: Produces a 512-bit hash value, offering the highest security in the SHA-2 family.
- SHA384: A truncated version of SHA512 with a 384-bit output.
- SHA3: The newest member of the Secure Hash Algorithm family, designed to be resistant against attacks on SHA-2.
- RIPEMD160: A 160-bit hash function designed as an alternative to SHA1 and MD5.
- MD5 and SHA1 are no longer considered secure for cryptographic purposes.
- For security-critical applications, use SHA256 or stronger algorithms.
- Remember that hash functions are one-way functions - you cannot recover the original text from a hash.
- All processing occurs locally in your browser; no data is sent to any server.
- For password storage, specialized algorithms like bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 should be used instead of simple hashing.
- Checking file integrity - compare hash values to verify file contents
- Data deduplication - identify identical data by its hash
- Message verification - ensure data hasn't been tampered with
- Digital signatures (when used with asymmetric cryptography)
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency applications
