# Hash generator

Create SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-1 and MD5 hashes of any text, in hex or Base64.

## How it works

SHA hashes use your browser’s Web Crypto API. Text is encoded as UTF-8 first, so the result matches other tools.

## Questions

### Can I hash passwords with this?

Not for storage. Passwords need a slow hash such as Argon2, scrypt or bcrypt.

### Why does my hash differ?

Check for a trailing newline or different encoding; they change the result completely.
