How it works

MD5 (RFC 1321) pads the message to a multiple of 512 bits, then runs 64 rounds of bitwise mixing over four 32-bit state words. The digest is those four words written as 32 lowercase hex characters. This page hashes the UTF-8 encoding of your text, so accented characters and emoji hash the same way as in any correct MD5 implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is MD5 safe for storing passwords?

No. MD5 is fast by design, which makes it cheap to brute-force, and collisions can be generated deliberately. Use bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2 for passwords. MD5 is still fine for checksums, cache keys, deduplication and ETags where adversarial input is not a concern.

Why does changing one letter completely change the hash?

That is the avalanche effect: every output bit depends on every input bit, so a one-character change flips about half of the 128 output bits. Two similar texts never have similar MD5 hashes.

Can an MD5 hash be reversed?

Not mathematically — it is a one-way function that discards information. What people call reversing is looking the hash up in a table of pre-computed hashes of common strings, which is exactly why MD5 must not protect passwords.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

No. The hashing runs entirely in your browser with a self-contained implementation — nothing is sent to any server.
