How it works

A cryptographic hash transforms any input into a fixed-length fingerprint. It is one-way (you cannot reverse it), deterministic (the same input always gives the same hash), and exhibits the avalanche effect — changing even one character produces a completely different output.

Common uses include file integrity (verifying a download matches the original), password storage (databases store the hash, not the password), and digital signatures.

MD5 and SHA-1 are deprecated for security-sensitive use due to known collision vulnerabilities. Use SHA-256 or higher for any security purpose.

Hashing runs in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Files and text never leave your device.
