MD5 Converter

What is MD5?

MD5 (Message Digest algorithm 5) is a widely used cryptographic hash function that produces a 128-bit (16-byte) hash value. It's commonly used to verify data integrity but is not suitable for cryptographic security due to vulnerabilities.

Advantages

  • Fast computation for large amounts of data
  • Widely supported across different platforms and languages
  • Useful for checking data integrity and detecting changes
  • Can be used for non-cryptographic purposes like data indexing
  • Produces a fixed-size output regardless of input size

How to Use

  1. Choose 'Encode to MD5' or 'Verify MD5' mode
  2. For encoding: Enter text and see the MD5 hash generated
  3. For verifying: Enter text and MD5 hash, then click 'Verify'
  4. Use 'Clear' to reset the input fields
  5. Note: MD5 is not secure for passwords or sensitive data
