Is MD5 still safe to use?

MD5 is broken for security purposes — collisions can be crafted. Don't use it for password hashing, digital signatures or content authentication. It's still fine for non-security checksums (cache keys, file deduplication, integrity hints for trusted sources).

What should I use instead of MD5 for passwords?

Bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2id. For general-purpose hashing, SHA-256 or BLAKE3.

Does the tool handle UTF-8 correctly?

Yes — text is UTF-8 encoded before hashing, so emoji and non-Latin scripts produce the canonical MD5.

No. Files are hashed in your browser via the Web Crypto API stream — they never touch our servers.

How to use MD5 Generator

1Type or paste any text — the 32-character hex MD5 hash appears instantly as you type.
2Drag-and-drop a file (any size) to compute its MD5 checksum locally for integrity verification.
3Use the compare box to paste an expected hash and get an instant green/red match indicator.
4Copy the hash, or download a .md5 sidecar file alongside the original.
5MD5 is a 128-bit fingerprint — same input always produces the same hash.
