Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cryptographic hash?

A hash is a 'fingerprint' of data. It converts any input into a fixed-length string of characters. It's a one-way process, meaning you cannot easily turn the hash back into the original text.

Which algorithm should I use?

For most modern applications, SHA-256 or higher (SHA-512) is recommended. SHA-1 is considered weak and should only be used for legacy compatibility or non-security purposes.

Is my data safe with this tool?

Yes. This tool uses the Web Crypto API, which means all hashing happens locally in your browser. Your input is never sent to any server.
