Tips for better results
- 1
Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for modern needs
MD5 and SHA-1 are fine for simple checksums but are not considered secure for protecting data.
- 2
Watch invisible characters
A trailing space or line break changes the hash completely. Make sure both texts match exactly.
- 3
Do not hash passwords this way
Storing passwords needs specialised, slow hashing with a salt. A plain MD5 or SHA hash is not enough.

Frequently asked questions
What is a hash?
A hash is a fixed-length fingerprint of some text. Changing even one character gives a completely different result.
Can a hash be turned back into the original text?
No. Hashing is one-way. Short or common texts can still be guessed by trying many possibilities, so a hash is not a way to hide secrets.
Which algorithm should I choose?
SHA-256 is a good general choice. Use MD5 or SHA-1 only when you need to match an older system or a published checksum.
Why is my hash different from someone else's?
Check that the text is identical, including spaces, line breaks and capital letters, and that you picked the same algorithm.
Can I hash a file?
This tool hashes text that you type or paste. It does not hash files.
Is my text uploaded?
No. The hash is calculated in your browser.
Is Text to Hash free to use?
Yes. Text to Hash is 100% free, with no signup, no daily limit and no paid plans.
Do I need to create an account to use Text to Hash?
No signup or login is required. Open the page and start using Text to Hash immediately.
Is it safe to use Text to Hash with private or sensitive files?
Yes. Text to Hash processes your file locally in your browser using client-side code. The file itself is never uploaded to Toolkitties' servers.
Does Text to Hash store the text I enter?
No. Your text is processed in memory in your browser tab and is cleared as soon as you close or refresh the page.
