About this tool

Hash strings for checksums, cache keys, or quick integrity checks. SHA digests use Web Crypto; MD5 is computed locally for compatibility.

How to use

  1. Paste or type your text, or choose a local file.
  2. Toggle algorithms and uppercase hex as needed.
  3. Copy the hash you need.

Examples

  • Checksum a config string.
  • Create a cache key from input.
  • Compare file fingerprints after hashing contents elsewhere.

Benefits

  • MD5 and SHA digests
  • Show/hide algorithms
  • Text and file hashing
  • Private in-browser

Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 secure for passwords?+

No. MD5 is unsuitable for password storage. Use a modern password hash designed for secrets.

How do I generate a SHA-256 checksum of a string or file?+

Paste text or choose a local file in ToolVera’s hash generator and copy the SHA-256 digest. Hashing stays in your browser via Web Crypto (plus local MD5 when needed).

When should I use SHA-256 instead of MD5?+

Prefer SHA-256 for integrity checks and new systems. Keep MD5 only for legacy checksums you must match—never for password storage or security-sensitive fingerprints.
