About Hash Text Tool

The Hash Text Tool helps you generate secure hash values from any text. It supports common algorithms such as MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA3-256, and RIPEMD160. You can choose Hex, Base64, Base64url, or Binary output formats, making it useful for encryption, data verification, password storage, and more.

What is Hash?

A hash is a one-way cryptographic function that maps an input of any length to a fixed-length output. Hash values are commonly used for password storage, file integrity checks, digital signatures, and more.

Common Use Cases

• User password encryption and storage
• File integrity verification
• Digital signatures and authentication
• Data deduplication and indexing

Example

For example, generating a SHA256 hash of the text hello in Hex format produces:

FAQ

• Q: Can a hash be reversed?
  A: Hashes are one-way functions and cannot theoretically be reversed, though weak algorithms like MD5 can be brute-forced.
• Q: What is the difference between SHA and SHA3?
  A: SHA3 is a newer generation of the SHA family, offering higher security and a different structure.
