What this tool is for
MD5 produces a 128 bit digest, written as 32 hexadecimal characters. It is still everywhere as a file checksum and a cache key, and it is no longer acceptable for signatures or passwords because two different files can be made to share a digest.
How to use it
- Enter text or drop a file.
- Copy the 32 character digest.
- Paste a published checksum into the compare field to check a download byte for byte.
Frequently asked questions
Is MD5 safe to use?
For detecting accidental corruption, yes. For anything where an attacker chooses the input, no: practical collision attacks have existed since 2004 and cost minutes of compute today.
Why do MD5 hashes of the same file differ between tools?
Usually a line ending difference. A text file saved on Windows and on Linux differs by a byte per line, so the digests differ even though the content reads the same.
