Generate SHA512, SHA256, SHA1, and MD5 hashes for text and file inputs with verification
Most secure, largest hash size • 128 characters (512 bits)
Widely used, good balance of security and speed • 64 characters (256 bits)
Legacy algorithm, not recommended for security • 40 characters (160 bits)
Fast but cryptographically broken • 32 characters (128 bits)
Hashing is a one-way cryptographic function that converts input data into a fixed-length string. Unlike encryption, hashes cannot be reversed.
SHA512 and SHA256 are currently secure. SHA1 is deprecated, and MD5 is cryptographically broken but still used for checksums.
File integrity verification, password storage, digital signatures, blockchain, and data deduplication.
Hashing is not encryption! Hashes are one-way functions and cannot be "decrypted" back to original data.
The SHA512 Hash Generator creates cryptographic hashes using multiple algorithms including SHA512, SHA256, SHA1, and MD5. Perfect for verifying file integrity, creating secure checksums, password hashing, and digital forensics. Note: SHA512 is a one-way cryptographic hash function, not encryption - hashes cannot be reversed to recover the original data.
