Hash generator

Make MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 hashes.

MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for checking downloads but are broken for security. Never store passwords as plain hashes.

How to make a hash

Type text to get its MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 hashes. Or choose a file to get its checksums.

Check a download

  1. Choose the file you downloaded.
  2. Paste the checksum from the website into Compare.
  3. A match means the file is complete and unchanged.

Which hash should I use?

SHA-256 for anything new. MD5 and SHA-1 are only for checking old checksums.

Is my file uploaded?

No. It is read and hashed in your browser.
