Frequently Asked Questions

Is MD5 secure?

No — MD5 is broken for cryptographic use. Fine for checksums and non-security IDs; use SHA-256 for anything security-related.

Does the file leave my device?

No. Hashing runs in your browser — nothing uploads.

How do I use the MD5 Hash Generator?

Simply pick your options and read the result, which refreshes the instant you change something. There is nothing to submit and nothing to wait for.

Does it cost anything or need an account?

No. The tool is completely free, there is no account to create, and it keeps working offline after the page first loads.

Is anything I type uploaded?

No. The tool works entirely on your device, so the values you enter never leave your browser.
