About this tool
Paste text to get its MD5 or SHA-256 digest as lowercase hex, computed client-side over the UTF-8 bytes. A hash is one-way — not encryption.
How to use
- 1Paste the exact text to hash — hashes depend on every byte, including trailing spaces and newlines.
- 2Pick the algorithm: MD5 for a 128-bit digest, SHA-256 for a 256-bit digest.
- 3Read the lowercase hex digest in the output; the header shows which algorithm produced it.
- 4Copy the digest for checksums, file fingerprints, or cache keys — never store passwords as a bare MD5.
