MD5 Hash Generator
Compute the MD5 hash of any text. Donfig produces the standard 32-character lowercase hex digest. MD5 is cryptographically broken (collisions are easy to construct) and should not be used for password hashing or signatures, but it remains useful as a content fingerprint, ETag generator, or input to legacy systems that still require it. The hash recomputes live as you type, and a copy button puts the result on your clipboard. SHA-256 and the rest of the SHA family are computed alongside on the same page if you need a stronger digest.

Frequently asked
Is MD5 secure?
No, not for security purposes. Use SHA-256 or stronger for signatures, password hashing, or anywhere collision resistance matters.
When is MD5 still appropriate?
Content fingerprints (cache keys, ETags), checksum verification of non-adversarial files, integration with legacy systems that mandate it.
Does empty input produce a hash?
Yes — d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e. That's the canonical MD5 of an empty string.
