Is MD5 safe for passwords?

No. MD5 and SHA-1 are cryptographically broken for password storage. Use bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2 for passwords. MD5 is acceptable only for non-security checksums.

What is SHA-256 used for?

SHA-256 is widely used for file integrity checks, blockchain, certificate fingerprints, and HMAC constructions. It is currently considered secure.

Does the tool hash files?

Currently it hashes text input only. Paste file contents or use a dedicated file hashing tool for binary files.

Is my input sent to a server?

No. All hashing uses the Web Crypto API in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.
