Frequently Asked Questions
Can a hash be reversed?
No. Hashing is one-way. Short or common inputs can still be found by brute force, which is why MD5 and SHA-1 must never be used to store passwords.
Which algorithm should I use?
SHA-256 for anything security related. MD5 remains useful only as a fast checksum when you are comparing a file against a published value.
Is my file uploaded to hash it?
No. The digest is computed in your browser with the Web Crypto API, so even a large file never leaves your device.
