Frequently Asked Questions
Which hash algorithms are available in this tool?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 are all supported. You can compare all four algorithms side by side for the same input text, making it easy to see the different hash outputs and choose the right one for your needs.
Is this tool suitable for hashing passwords?
No, this tool is for checksums, data integrity verification, and general hashing purposes only. For password hashing, you should use bcrypt, Argon2, or PBKDF2 which are specifically designed to be slow and resistant to brute-force attacks.
Can I hash files or only text with this tool?
The tool supports both text input and file uploads. Paste text directly or upload any file to generate its hash. File hashing works with documents, images, archives, and any other file type you need to verify.
Is Hash Generator free, and do I need to sign up or upload my files?
Hash Generator is 100% free to use with no signup, no registration, and no usage limits. All processing happens locally in your browser - your files and data never leave your device, so no upload is required and your privacy is fully protected.
