MD5 Hash Generator
Generate an MD5 hash of any text, in hex or Base64, instantly in your browser. Free and private: runs in your browser.
Type or paste text to get its 128-bit MD5 hash. Paste several lines to hash each line separately.
Hashing runs locally in your browser. Your input never leaves this page.
Use cases
- Verify a download or file checksum.
- Create test fixtures for authentication code.
- Debug a hash mismatch between two systems.
Frequently asked questions
Is MD5 secure?
No. MD5 collisions are easy to create, so never use it for passwords or signatures. It is still fine for non-security checksums and cache keys.
Is the MD5 Hash Generator free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser, so your input is never uploaded or stored.
Is hashing the same as encryption?
No. A hash is one-way: you cannot get the input back. Encryption is reversible with a key. Use slow password hashes (bcrypt, Argon2, PBKDF2) for passwords and fast hashes (SHA-256) for integrity checks.
