MD5 Hash
About MD5
Generate MD5 hashes for strings. For stronger hashing algorithms, use the SHA Generator. If your inputs are URL/Base64 encoded, decode first with the URL Encoder/Decoder or Base64 Encoder/Decoder and then inspect with the JSON Formatter.
Runs locally in your browser. MD5 is one‑way and cannot be decrypted. For password creation use the Password Generator and store hashes with modern algorithms.
Common Use Cases
- Check data integrity by comparing hashes
- Compare text and existing MD5 quickly
- Store short hashes for simple checks
How It Works
- MD5 is one‑way and cannot be reversed
- Processes UTF‑8 text via TextEncoder
- One‑click copy of results
FAQ
Can MD5 be decrypted?
No. MD5 is a one‑way hash. Only dictionary lookups may find matches for weak inputs. Prefer SHA‑256/512 for integrity and modern password hashing algorithms for credentials.
Is this secure for passwords?
No. Use modern algorithms like bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2 with salt. You can generate strong passwords with the Password Generator.
Is data uploaded?
No. All operations run locally in your browser.
