About Hashing
Hashing is a process of converting data into a fixed-size string of characters, which is typically a digest that is unique to the data.
Common Algorithms:
- SHA-256: Secure and widely used. Recommended for most security applications.
- MD5: Fast but considered cryptographically broken. Good for non-security checksums.
- SHA-512: More secure than SHA-256, produces a longer hash.
- SHA-1: Older standard, no longer recommended for security purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I decrypt a hash?
No. Hashing is a one-way function. You cannot reverse it to get the original text. You can only verify if a text matches a hash.
Is my data safe?
Yes. All hashing is performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your input text is never sent to our servers.
Which algorithm should I use?
For security (like passwords), use SHA-256 or stronger. For simple file integrity checks, MD5 or SHA-1 might suffice, but SHA-256 is generally preferred.
Is the output always the same?
Yes. The same input will always produce the exact same hash output for a given algorithm.
