Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cryptographic hash?

A cryptographic hash is a mathematical algorithm that maps data of arbitrary size to a fixed-size bit string. It is a one-way function, meaning it is practically impossible to reverse-engineer the original text from the hash output.

Are my inputs stored or logged?

No. Our tool operates entirely within your browser using client-side scripting. We never store, read, or transmit any of the text you input.

Which algorithm should I choose?

For modern security needs, SHA-256 or SHA-512 are strongly recommended. MD5 and SHA-1 are older algorithms and are generally only used for legacy systems or non-security checksum verifications.
