Hash Generator
Generate cryptographic hashes from any text. Supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 and more.
When to Use Which Hash
MD5
File integrity checks. NOT for passwords — broken for security
SHA-1
Legacy systems only. Deprecated for new applications
SHA-256
Recommended for most uses — strong and widely supported
SHA-512
Maximum security — use for high-value data
bcrypt
Always use for password hashing — built-in salting
