Orbitso Tools
Free hash generator
Generate cryptographic hash values from text in your browser. Supports MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.
Generate Hash
Note: MD5 is included for compatibility/testing, not for modern password security.
About this tool
A hash function converts text into a fixed-length string of characters. Even a small change to the original text creates a very different hash output.
This tool is useful for checksums, testing, debugging, development, and understanding how different hashing algorithms behave.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hash?
A hash is a fixed-size output created from input data using a one-way function.
Can I reverse a hash?
No. Hashes are one-way functions and are not meant to be reversed back to the original text.
Which algorithm should I use?
For general modern use, SHA-256 or stronger is preferred. MD5 and SHA-1 are weaker and mostly useful for legacy compatibility.
