Hash calculator

One input, eleven digests: MD5, the SHA-1/2/3 families and RIPEMD-160. HMAC mode (with key) is supported; every row copies in one click.

Free and no sign-up. Hash calculator computes and renders entirely in your browser; nothing you enter is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions about Hash calculator

Which should I choose: SHA-1, SHA-2 or SHA-3?
For general use pick SHA-256: balanced security and speed with the widest support. SHA-1 can be collided and only serves legacy compatibility. SHA-512 suits large files on 64-bit machines. SHA-3 has a completely different structure, used where algorithm diversity is required. For verifying downloads, follow the algorithm the publisher states.
What is HMAC and how is it different from a plain hash?
HMAC is a keyed hash: the same content with different keys gives entirely different results, and only someone holding both the content and the key can produce the matching value — commonly used to sign API requests. Anyone can compute a plain hash; without the key an HMAC is infeasible. Both sides just need the same key and the same hash algorithm.
Why does the same text hash differently in another tool?
First check the encoding: the same characters produce different bytes in UTF-8 vs GBK, hence different digests. Then look for invisible differences (a trailing newline, full-width spaces, a BOM). This page computes on UTF-8; watch out for stray newlines at the end of the input.
Do I need to register or pay to use Hash calculator?
Almost every tool is free, needs no registration or sign-in and has no usage limit; the few pay-per-use features (such as AI watermark removal, AI image generation, AI upscaling, AI annotation, and AI flowchart, mind-map and Mermaid generation) state their prices on the page.
Is the data I process with Hash calculator uploaded to a server?
No. Calculation and rendering run locally in the browser and your input is never sent to a server; only the IP address page asks our backend for your outbound address when it opens, and that request carries none of your input. Features that need the backend (such as AI watermark removal, AI image generation, AI upscaling, AI annotation, AI flowchart and mind-map generation and "Financial statements – Small Business Accounting Standards") state their upload scope on their own pages.

About Local Toolbox

Local Toolbox gathers the small tools you reach for every day into one place: formatters, encoding converters, date maths, ID card and address parsing, image and QR code handling, password and amount conversion. Open a page and start working — no sign-up, and almost every tool has no usage limit.

Most features compute inside your browser, so your input never leaves your device; the pages are plain static assets, load fast and keep working offline. The IP page asks our backend for your outbound address when it opens and sends none of your input. AI watermark removal, AI background removal, AI image generation and AI upscaling send content to our backend for inference (watermark removal is ¥1 per run; background removal is ¥1 per run; image generation and upscaling are priced by resolution — 2K ¥2, 4K ¥3); AI annotation sends images to a large model that locates the target and returns coordinates (¥0.5 per image, refunded only when every image in the batch fails); AI flowchart, AI mind-map and AI Mermaid chart generation send your text description to a model that builds the diagram (three separate products, charged ¥0.5, ¥0.5 and ¥0.5 per run respectively); and the accounting helper sends the income, expense, social-insurance and balance figures you fill in to generate a report (¥0.5 for the spoken analysis, ¥1 for the report). These features accept Alipay only, upload nothing before payment succeeds, and refund automatically if processing fails.
