Hash Generator
A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of data: change one byte and the digest changes completely. Paste text or drop a file to compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256 or SHA-512 in your browser — the file is never uploaded.
Which hash should I use?
SHA-256 or SHA-512 for integrity checks, signatures and anything security-related. MD5 and SHA-1 are broken for security purposes (collisions can be manufactured) but still appear in legacy checksums. A hash is not encryption and cannot be reversed — it only proves the data is unchanged.
This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your inputs and files are processed locally and are never sent to or stored on Kinetikatech servers.
