FAQ
Why use hashes?
Same input always produces the same hash, which is used to verify file integrity and compare checksums — useful when checking whether a downloaded file matches the original.
Is MD5 safe?
MD5 is no longer recommended for cryptographic use (collisions exist), but is still widely used for non-cryptographic checksums and identifiers — included for compatibility.
Can I hash large files?
Yes, though the file is loaded fully into memory. We recommend ≤100MB on mobile devices.
Are files uploaded to a server?
No. All hashing happens in your browser via the Web Crypto API and a small client-side MD5 library.
Should I use SHA-256 or SHA-512?
SHA-256 is sufficient for most cases. SHA-512 produces a longer (128-char) hash and is used when stronger security or longer output is needed.
