Use Hash Generator three ways
The free Hash Generator on this page works in your browser. The same workflow is available via REST API for apps and via MCP for Cursor, Claude, and other agents — one API key, one plan, one quota. This tool is part of the security-apis module under Security Tools.

What is Hash Generator?
Compute MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256/384/512, or SHA-3 digests of text in one place. ToolYour Hash Generator returns hex output and warns when you pick legacy MD5/SHA-1 for security-sensitive hashing. Digests are not password storage — use bcrypt/Argon2 (Phase 2) for passwords. REST/MCP POST with { "text", "algorithm" }.
What are common questions about Hash Generator?
Which algorithms are supported?
md5, sha1, sha256, sha384, sha512, sha3-256, sha3-512. Prefer SHA-256 or stronger for integrity checks.
Is this for password hashing?
No. Use a slow password KDF (bcrypt/Argon2) for passwords. This tool is for message digests and checksums.
What are the key features of Hash Generator?
Multi-algorithm one page
Avoids thin separate MD5/SHA tool URLs.
Legacy warnings
Flags MD5 and SHA-1 for security-sensitive contexts.
How do you use Hash Generator?
Paste text and pick algorithm
Default SHA-256 for general integrity checks.
Copy the hex digest
Compare against a known good hash or store beside an artifact.
HMAC and bcrypt next
Phase 2 adds HMAC and bcrypt tools for keyed MACs and password hashes — keep this page for plain digests.
