How to Use the Hash Generator

Enter your text into the input box. Click 'Generate Hashes' to instantly get the MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256 hashes of your text. You can easily copy each hash to your clipboard using the copy button next to it. Use 'Clear Text' to reset the input and results.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

These are cryptographic hash functions. They take an input (or 'message') and return a fixed-size string of bytes, typically a hexadecimal number. This 'hash' is a unique digital fingerprint of the input. Even a small change in the input will result in a drastically different hash. They are commonly used for data integrity verification.

MD5 (Message-Digest Algorithm 5) produces a 128-bit hash value. SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm 1) produces a 160-bit hash value. SHA-256 (Secure Hash Algorithm 256) produces a 256-bit hash value and is part of the SHA-2 family. Generally, SHA-256 is considered more secure than SHA-1 and MD5 due to its longer hash output and greater resistance to collision attacks.
