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.
