Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hash function?
A hash function converts input data of any size into a fixed-length string. The output is deterministic — the same input always produces the same hash, but it's computationally infeasible to reverse the process.
Which hash type should I use?
For security-sensitive applications, use SHA256 or SHA512. MD5 and SHA1 are faster but are considered cryptographically broken for security purposes. MD5 is still useful for checksums and non-security use cases.
Are the hashes generated client-side?
Yes. All hash calculations happen entirely in your browser using the crypto-js library. Your input data never leaves your device.
What is the difference between MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512?
They differ in output length and security level: MD5 (128-bit), SHA1 (160-bit), SHA256 (256-bit), and SHA512 (512-bit). Longer hashes are generally more secure against collision attacks.
