Hash Generator
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512 of UTF-8 text. Hex or Base64. Compare a known digest.
How it works
Paste the text
UTF-8. Copy sits on the field label. The digest updates as you type.
Pick algorithm and encoding
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, or SHA-512. Hex is lowercase. Base64 is standard.
Copy or compare
Copy the digest. Paste a known checksum to see a match. For a file, use File Hash. HMAC Generator signs with a secret.
What is a hash generator?
A hash generator maps text to a digest. MD5 and SHA-1 still show up in older checksums; SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 are the SHA-2 family. This tool hashes UTF-8 in the tab as you type, as hex or Base64, and can compare a known digest. Easy24 does not receive the text.

Questions
What is a hash generator?
A hash generator turns text into a fixed-length digest (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and so on). The same input always yields the same string.
How do I use Hash Generator?
Paste text, pick an algorithm and Hex or Base64. The digest appears as you type. Copy sits on each field label.
Which algorithms can I use?
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. SHA-256 is the default. SHA family uses Web Crypto; MD5 is computed in this tab.
Is MD5 still safe?
MD5 is fine for casual checksums and legacy systems. Do not use it for passwords or signatures. Collisions are practical. Prefer SHA-256 for new work.
SHA-1 or SHA-256?
SHA-1 is deprecated for security. Use SHA-256 unless you must match an older SHA-1 digest.
Hex or Base64?
Same bytes, different text. Most checksums are hex. Pick Base64 only if the value you were given is Base64.
Does it hash files?
This page hashes UTF-8 text. For a file digest, use File Hash. For a keyed MAC, use HMAC Generator.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Hashing runs in this tab. Easy24 does not receive the text.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no daily cap on this tool.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. It runs in the mobile browser.
