Frequently Asked Questions

What is an MD5 hash?

MD5 is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value, typically rendered as a 32-character hexadecimal number.

Can an MD5 hash be reversed?

No, MD5 is a one-way hashing algorithm. It is impossible to cryptographically reverse the hash back into its original text.

Is MD5 secure for passwords?

No! MD5 is considered cryptographically broken and vulnerable to collision and dictionary attacks. Do not use MD5 for storing passwords. Use bcrypt or Argon2 instead.

What is MD5 used for today?

MD5 is still heavily used as a checksum to verify data integrity, ensuring that a file has not been corrupted during transfer or storage.

Are my files uploaded?

No, the file hashing happens entirely within your web browser. Your files are never sent to our servers.
