Hash Generator — SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512
Generate cryptographic hashes from any text. Uses the browser's native crypto.subtle — your input never leaves your device.
————MD5 is intentionally excluded — it's broken for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or stronger.
You're on 7BusyBoss — 300+ free tools that run instantly in your browser. No signup, nothing uploaded.
Generate cryptographic hashes
Enter text and get its MD5, SHA-1 or SHA-256 hash instantly — useful for checksums, deduplication and verifying data integrity.
Pick the right algorithm
Use SHA-256 for anything security-related. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security (collisions exist) — fine for a quick non-security checksum, but never for passwords or signatures.
Hashes are one-way: you can verify a value by re-hashing it, but you can’t reverse a hash to the original. Everything runs locally.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Hash Generator (SHA family).
How do I generate a hash?
Enter your text, pick an algorithm (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256…) and the hash is computed instantly.
Which hash algorithm should I use?
Use SHA-256 for security and integrity. Avoid MD5 and SHA-1 for anything security-related — use them only for quick checksums.
Can a hash be reversed?
No — hashes are one-way. They’re for verifying data, not for decryption.
Is my input private?
Yes — hashing runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
