Is this MD5 and SHA256 generator free?

Yes. You can generate MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and MySQL hashes without an account, payment or input limit.

Does DorkPlus upload the text I hash?

No. Hash calculation runs locally in your browser. Your text is not submitted to DorkPlus or any third-party service, and closing or refreshing the page clears the current value.

Why does my hash differ from another generator?

Hash functions operate on exact bytes. A trailing space, hidden line break, different character encoding or capitalization change will produce a completely different digest. This tool uses UTF-8.

Can I reverse or decrypt a generated hash?

A cryptographic hash is a one-way digest, not encryption. This calculator does not reverse hashes. For authorized lookup workflows, DorkPlus Dehasher is available separately.

Are MD5 and SHA-1 safe for passwords?

No. MD5 and SHA-1 are fast legacy digest algorithms and should not be used for new password storage. Modern applications should use a salted password-hashing algorithm such as Argon2id, scrypt or bcrypt.

What is the MySQL 4.1+ hash format?

MySQL 4.1+ password values use SHA-1 twice and are displayed as an asterisk followed by 40 uppercase hexadecimal characters. The legacy MySQL 3.23 format uses a different 16-character algorithm.

Hash formats

Generated hashes

All formats update as you type

Your MD5, SHA and MySQL hashes will appear here.

Generate hashes only from text and credentials you own or are explicitly authorized to handle. This utility performs local calculation and does not contact another system.

One input, every common hash you need

Generate the digest formats developers, analysts and authorized security teams encounter most often—without switching between separate MD5 and SHA tools.

MD5 generator

Create a standard 128-bit MD5 digest for checksums, compatibility tests and controlled lab workflows.

SHA hash generator

Calculate SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512 together from the exact same UTF-8 input.

MySQL password formats

Generate MySQL 4.1+ double-SHA1 values and legacy MySQL 3.23 hashes for migration checks.

Live comparison

Every format refreshes as you type so digest lengths and outputs can be compared immediately.

Copy and TXT export

Copy one digest, copy the complete labeled set, or download every generated hash as a text report.

Exact UTF-8 input

Whitespace, punctuation, capitalization and line breaks remain part of the value you hash.

Private by design

A hash generator that never sees your text

No account, no upload and no API request—only local digest calculation inside your own browser tab.

100%

Local calculation

MD5, SHA and MySQL values are calculated on your device. Your source text never reaches DorkPlus.

Generate five common message digests and two MySQL password formats from one input.

How to generate MD5 and SHA hashes online

A cryptographic hash converts the exact bytes of your input into a fixed-length digest. Even a one-character change produces a different result.

Enter the exact source text

Type or paste the value you want to hash. Spaces, line breaks and capitalization are significant, so preserve the original value when comparing a known digest.

DorkPlus makes security workflows faster.

Generate every format automatically

The calculator encodes the input as UTF-8 and calculates MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512 and both MySQL formats in parallel.

Compare lengths and values

Use the labeled output to distinguish 32-character MD5, 40-character SHA-1, 64-character SHA-256 and longer SHA-2 digests.

Copy or export the result

Copy one digest for a configuration field or export the complete set as a UTF-8 text file. Everything stays on your device from input to download.

Know the difference

Hash generation is not password protection

MD5 and SHA digests are deterministic: the same input always produces the same output. That makes them useful for checksums, cache keys, fixtures and controlled compatibility tests, but unsalted fast hashes are not suitable for storing modern passwords.

For new password storage, use a slow password-hashing scheme such as Argon2id, scrypt or bcrypt with an appropriate salt and cost. This calculator intentionally generates formats—it does not claim to secure a password or recover a value from a hash.
