MD5 Hash Generator
Generate MD5 hashes for checksums and legacy systems. Includes HMAC support and multiple encodings.
How to Use
- 1
Enter your text
Type or paste the text you want to hash into the input field.
- 2
Select input encoding
Choose how the input should be interpreted (UTF-8 by default).
- 3
Configure output format
Select lowercase hex, uppercase hex, or Base64 output.
- 4
Optional: Enable HMAC
Toggle HMAC and enter a secret key for keyed hashing.
- 5
Generate and copy
Click Hash or enable Auto Update, then copy the result as needed.
MD5 (Message Digest Algorithm 5) is a hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. While fast and simple, MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes.
- •File checksums and integrity verification
- •Non-security hash tables and caching
- •Legacy system compatibility
- •Quick duplicate detection in large datasets
Security Note: MD5 is vulnerable to collision attacks and should never be used for passwords, digital signatures, or any security-sensitive application. Use SHA-256 or SHA-3 instead.
