Encoding
Base64 Encoder / Decoder
Base64 encode plain text, decode Base64 strings, and inspect Base64Url content when you need to read or transform encoded values.
What Hash Generator helps you do
This hash generator creates four commonly used digests from the same text input so you can compare outputs quickly without switching between separate pages.
It is useful for fixtures, checksums, rough integrity comparisons, debugging data transformations, and understanding how different algorithms represent the same source value.
The page stays intentionally focused on text-to-hash generation and cross-links to related encoding and token tools instead of turning into a broad cryptography suite.

Frequently asked questions
What hashes does this tool generate?
It generates MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512 from the current text input.
Is hashing the same as encryption?
No. Hashing is one-way and is typically used for integrity checks or fingerprints, while encryption is reversible with the correct key.
Should I use MD5 or SHA-1 for security?
No. MD5 and SHA-1 are included for compatibility and debugging, but stronger algorithms such as SHA-256 are preferred for modern security-sensitive workflows.
Can I hash files here?
This page is focused on text input. File hashing can become its own dedicated tool later.
Are these hashes deterministic?
Yes. The same input will always produce the same output for a given algorithm.
