Hash Generator

Generate cryptographic hashes from text using various algorithms including MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and more.

About SHA-256

SHA-256 is part of the SHA-2 family and produces a 256-bit (32-byte) hash value.

It is widely used and considered secure for most applications.

Example uses: Digital signatures, password storage (with proper salting), blockchain technology.
