Frequently Asked Questions
What hash algorithms are supported?
We support: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA3-256, SHA3-512, and MD5 (for legacy systems). SHA-256 is recommended for most use cases (passwords, file integrity, digital signatures). All hashing runs in your browser using Web Crypto API.
Can I hash files?
Currently, we support text/string hashing. For file hashing, you can paste the file content as text. Future versions will support direct file upload for hashing large files without loading them into memory.
How is SHA-256 different from MD5?
SHA-256 produces a 256-bit (64 hex char) hash and is cryptographically secure. MD5 produces a 128-bit (32 hex char) hash but has known collision vulnerabilities. MD5 is still used for checksums and non-security purposes, but SHA-256 is recommended for security applications.
