MD5 Hash Generator

Generate an MD5 hash from any string. This is a one-way process.

How to Generate an MD5 Hash

This tool creates a 128-bit MD5 hash from any text you provide. Hashing is a one-way process that converts an input of any length into a fixed-size string of characters.

  1. Enter Your Text: Type or paste the string you want to hash into the input area.
  2. Generate Hash: Click the "Generate MD5 Hash" button.
  3. Copy the Result: The unique 32-character hexadecimal hash will appear below, ready for you to copy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I reverse an MD5 hash?

A: No, MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm. You cannot "decrypt" a hash to get the original text. This is by design. However, because MD5 is an older algorithm, it's possible to find the original input for common strings using "rainbow tables".

Q: Is MD5 secure for passwords?

A: No. MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for password hashing in new applications. Modern, stronger hashing algorithms like SHA-256 or bcrypt are the recommended standard for security purposes.
