Is hashing the same as encryption?
No, hashing is one-way. Encryption is designed to be reversible with a key.
Developer Tools
Generate SHA-256 and other hashes directly in your browser.
Create SHA-256 or SHA-1 digests for text using the browser Web Crypto API. Hashes are one-way digests, not encryption.
Generate SHA hashes locally with the Web Crypto API.
// Hash output will appear here. Add the text you want to hash to the input field.
Select SHA-256 for modern digests or SHA-1 for legacy checks.
Use the lowercase hexadecimal hash in development workflows.
Hash the text `ToolRivet developer tools` with SHA-256 to get a deterministic one-way digest.

No, hashes are generated locally in your browser.
No, MD5 is considered broken for security-sensitive use cases.
