Hash Generator (SHA-256 / SHA-1 / MD5)
Generate SHA-256, SHA-1, and MD5 hashes from text with live update as you type.
About this tool
Hash text with SHA-256, SHA-1, and MD5 in one view for checksums, legacy compatibility checks, and quick digest comparison. Hashes are computed locally — your input is never uploaded.
What you get
- SHA-256 hex digest
- SHA-1 hex digest
- MD5 hex digest
- Live update on every keystroke
- One-click copy per algorithm
- Side-by-side comparison of all three hashes
How to use
Type or paste text and copy the hash you need. Prefer SHA-256 for new work; MD5 and SHA-1 are for legacy checks only.

FAQ
How to generate SHA-256 hash online?
Type or paste text and copy the SHA-256 hex digest from the live-updating results row.
What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?
MD5 is fast but cryptographically broken for collision resistance; SHA-256 is the standard choice for new checksums and integrity checks.
How to hash a string for checksum verification?
Paste the exact content—including whitespace—and compare the SHA-256 output to the expected digest from your build or download page.
Is MD5 still safe to use?
Not for security-sensitive integrity—use it only when verifying legacy files or systems that still publish MD5 checksums.
How to generate SHA-512 hash for file integrity check?
Paste the file text or string content and copy the SHA-512 hex row alongside MD5 and SHA-256 for multi-algorithm verification pages.
