Hash Generator

Enter any text below to compute its MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 hash at once. By default nothing you type here is stored anywhere — the hashes are computed fresh for you and forgotten once the page closes.

Why generate a hash?

Hashing lets you verify a password or file without storing the original value: you keep the hash, and compare it against a freshly computed hash later. It's also useful to quickly check what a given password's hash would look like, or to produce a checksum for a piece of text.
