Hash Generator Pro
The Hash Generator Pro creates secure cryptographic hashes for your texts. Choose from 9 different algorithms and compare results for maximum security.
So verwenden Sie den Hash-Generator
With this free tool, you can generate secure cryptographic hashes for your texts — fully GDPR-compliant in the browser, without any server transmission. Choose from 9 different hash algorithms (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, HMAC-SHA256, PBKDF2, bcrypt, Base64).
Enter text
Enter the text you want to hash. This can be a password, a message, or any text. The tool processes the input locally in the browser and immediately generates the corresponding hash value.
Choose algorithm
Select one of the 9 available hash algorithms or use "Compare all algorithms" to view all hash values at once. Each algorithm has different security levels and use cases — from MD5 (outdated) to SHA-512 (high security).
Add salt (optional)
Add an optional salt to increase security. A salt is a random string that is added to your text and makes each hash unique. Use the "Generate random salt" button for automatic salt generation.
HMAC key or iterations (if needed)
For HMAC-SHA256, enter a secret key. For PBKDF2, you can set the number of iterations (default: 10,000). These parameters significantly increase security and protect against brute-force attacks.
Calculate hash
Click "Calculate hash". The tool processes your input immediately and displays the generated hash value with calculation details, security rating, and a detailed algorithm description. The process runs entirely client-side.
Copy and use hash
Use the "Copy to clipboard" button to copy the hash value. When using "Compare all algorithms", you can copy each individual hash value via the copy button in the table. You can use the hashes for password storage, data integrity, or API authentication.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Hash Generator Pro Tool is a free tool for generating cryptographic hashes that helps you securely convert texts into hash values. It offers 9 different algorithms (MD5, SHA-256, bcrypt etc.) and is perfect for password hashing, data integrity, or API authentication — without installing complicated software.
You can choose between 9 algorithms: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, HMAC-SHA256, PBKDF2, bcrypt and Base64. Each has different security levels — SHA-256 and higher are recommended for modern applications, while MD5 and SHA-1 are considered insecure.
A salt is a random string added to your text before hashing. This makes each hash unique and protects against rainbow-table attacks. Use the “Generate random salt” button for automatic salt creation — especially important for password hashing.
Select “Compare all algorithms” to hash the same text with all 6 main algorithms (MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, Base64). You will see a clear table with hash values, lengths, security ratings and copy buttons for each algorithm.
Yes, the tool is GDPR-compliant and processes everything locally in your browser. No data is sent to or stored on a server — your texts and hash values remain private and secure, making it perfect for sensitive passwords or confidential data.
The security ratings show how resistant an algorithm is to modern attacks. “Very low” (MD5, SHA-1) means outdated and insecure. “High” (SHA-256) is suitable for most applications. “Very high” (SHA-512, PBKDF2, bcrypt) offers maximum security.
Yes, but use the correct algorithms! For passwords, use PBKDF2 (with at least 10,000 iterations), bcrypt or SHA-256 with a unique salt. Avoid MD5 and SHA-1 — they are no longer secure for passwords and are vulnerable to collision attacks.
After the calculation, click “Copy to clipboard” under the main result. In the algorithm comparison table, each row has its own copy button (clipboard icon). The button briefly turns green with a checkmark when copying is successful.
Yes, it works on all devices with a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). The responsive design automatically adapts to screen sizes. On mobile devices, button texts are automatically hidden to save space — only icons remain visible.
All three belong to the SHA-2 family and are secure. SHA-256 (256-bit) is the standard for most applications. SHA-384 (384-bit) and SHA-512 (512-bit) offer even higher security but are slower. For blockchain and maximum security requirements, SHA-512 is the best choice.
