Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash?
A hash is a fixed-size string generated from input data using a mathematical function. It's commonly used for data integrity checks and password storage.
Which hash algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 is recommended for most use cases. MD5 and SHA-1 are considered weak for security but still useful for checksums.
Can I reverse a hash?
No, hash functions are one-way. You cannot recover the original input from a hash value.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free. Hashing is done using your browser's built-in Web Crypto API.
