Hash Generator
Generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, and SHA-3 hashes from text or files.
––––Frequently Asked Questions
Where is MD5? The page description mentions it.
The current component only computes `SHA-256`, `SHA-512`, `SHA-384`, and `SHA-1` with Web Crypto. There is no MD5 option in the actual UI or code path.
What do the algorithm buttons really do?
They only hide or show result cards. When you hash text or a file, the tool still computes all four supported digests in the background.
Can I hash a file instead of pasted text?
Yes. The file input reads the selected file as an `ArrayBuffer` in your browser and then runs the same four digests on those raw bytes.
Why did adding a space or line break change the hash completely?
Hashes are byte-sensitive. Even a one-character difference changes the input bytes, so the resulting digest changes entirely.
Is this the right tool for storing passwords?
Not really. This is a fast digest tool for text or files; it does not do password hashing features like salts or slow work factors.
