Frequently asked questions
Which hash algorithms are supported?▼
MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512. For security-sensitive applications (password hashing, data integrity verification), use SHA-256 or stronger. MD5 and SHA-1 are provided for compatibility with legacy systems only.
Can hashes be reversed to recover the original text?▼
No. Cryptographic hash functions are one-way — there is no mathematical way to derive the input from the output. This is what makes them useful for password storage and data integrity verification.
Is the hashing done locally?▼
Yes. All hashing uses the Web Crypto API built into your browser. Your input text never leaves your device.
