How to generate a MD5 hash

  1. Type or paste your text into the box above — it stays in your browser and is never uploaded.
  2. The MD5 digest is computed instantly in your browser and shown below.
  3. Copy the hash you need; the other algorithms are listed too.

About MD5 hashes

A MD5 hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of your input, used to verify file integrity, detect changes or compare data without revealing it. The same input always yields the same digest.

It is computed locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device. For security-sensitive uses choose SHA-256 or stronger — MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken and suited only to non-security checksums.

MD5 produces a 128-bit digest, written as 32 hexadecimal characters, and is one of the fastest hashes you can run over a large file. That speed once made it the default for verifying downloads and deduplicating files, but it is now cryptographically broken: anyone can deliberately craft two different files with the same MD5. Reach for it only as a non-security checksum to catch accidental corruption or spot duplicate files, and use SHA-256 wherever an attacker might tamper with the data.

Frequently asked questions

How do I generate a MD5 hash?

Type or paste your text into the box and the MD5 digest appears instantly below, ready to copy — computed entirely in your browser.

Is my input sent to a server?

No. Hashes are computed locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device and nothing is stored online.

What is a MD5 hash used for?

A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of your input, used to verify file integrity, detect changes, or compare data without revealing it. The same input always produces the same MD5 digest.

Can I generate other hashes too?

Yes. MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 are all shown at once, so you can copy whichever you need.

Is MD5 safe to use for passwords or digital signatures?

No. MD5 is cryptographically broken because collisions are trivial to produce, so never use it for passwords or signatures — limit it to non-security checksums like detecting accidental corruption or deduplicating files.
