Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 still safe to use?

No — MD5 is broken for security purposes and vulnerable to collision attacks, so it shouldn't be used for passwords or digital signatures. It's still fine for non-security checksums, like verifying a file wasn't corrupted during a download.

What's the difference between SHA-256 and SHA-512?

Both are currently considered secure. SHA-512 produces a longer 512-bit digest and can be faster on 64-bit systems, while SHA-256 is more widely used and sufficient for the vast majority of use cases.

Can a hash be reversed to reveal the original text?

No. Hash functions are one-way — there's no mathematical way to recover the input from the output. Attackers instead try to guess the input and compare hashes, which is why long, unpredictable inputs are harder to crack.

Is my data sent to a server when I hash it here?

No. This tool hashes everything directly in your browser — nothing you type or upload ever leaves your device.
