Hash Generator (MD5 / SHA) — Frequently Asked Questions
Is MD5 secure?
MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or SHA-512 for security. MD5 is included for legacy compatibility and checksums.
How large a file can I hash?
Files are processed in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Very large files (over 100MB) may take a few seconds but should work fine.
