Hash Generator

Workflow

1. Choose between Text, File, Compare, or HMAC tabs.
2. Toggle between Hex and Base64 output formats at the top right.
3. For files, drag and drop the file into the browser. Hashes generate instantly.
4. For HMAC, enter your message and secret key to generate a signed hash.

Modern Use Cases

• SHA-256 / SHA-3: The current industry standard for SSL, passwords, and blockchain.
• Base64 Format: Required for JWT (JSON Web Tokens) and many modern REST APIs.
• RIPEMD-160: Commonly used in Bitcoin address generation.
• MD5 / SHA-1: Avoid for security. Use only for legacy file checksums or Git.
