Frequently Asked Questions

MD5 (Message Digest 5) is a hash function that produces a 128-bit (32 hex character) hash value. It's commonly used for checksums and file verification.

No. MD5 is cryptographically broken and should not be used for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or bcrypt for passwords. MD5 is still fine for checksums and non-security uses.

Yes. All hashing happens in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No data is sent to any server.

No. Hash functions are one-way. You cannot recover the original input from an MD5 hash. However, common inputs can be found via rainbow tables.

MD5 is sensitive to every byte. Even invisible differences like line endings (CRLF vs LF) or encoding will produce different hashes.

MD5 checksums are used to verify file integrity during downloads or transfers. Compare your file's MD5 hash with the published checksum to ensure the file wasn't corrupted or modified during transmission.

Yes. The tool processes files in 2MB chunks to efficiently handle files of any size without freezing your browser. Large files may take a moment to process.

MD5 hashes are identical in value whether displayed as uppercase or lowercase. The option lets you match the format used by other tools or documentation you're comparing against.

A collision occurs when two different inputs produce the same MD5 hash. MD5 collisions can be intentionally created, which is why it's not secure for cryptographic purposes.

Text hashing is nearly instant. File hashing depends on file size - typically a few seconds for files under 100MB. Processing happens entirely in your browser using native JavaScript.
