Frequently Asked Questions

What is a hash?

A hash is a fixed-length string produced by a hash function from any input. The same input always produces the same hash, but the original data cannot be recovered from the hash.

Which hash algorithms are supported?

The tool supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512. For security-sensitive uses, prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All hashing runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Your text is never sent to any server.

Can I hash a file?

Yes. Drop or select a file and the tool computes its hash in your browser without uploading it anywhere.

What is the difference between MD5 and SHA-256?

MD5 produces a 128-bit hash and is fast, but it is no longer considered cryptographically secure — collisions have been found. SHA-256 produces a 256-bit hash and is part of the SHA-2 family recommended for security-sensitive use cases like file integrity checks and digital signatures.

What is a UUID and when should I use it?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit randomly generated identifier. UUID v4 is the most common variant and is used to uniquely identify database records, session tokens, and API resources without a central coordination server.
