What's the difference between MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, and SHA-512?

All are cryptographic hash functions that convert text to fixed-length codes. MD5 (128-bit) is outdated and insecure. SHA-1 (160-bit) is deprecated. SHA-256 (256-bit) and SHA-512 (512-bit) are modern, secure standards used for password storage and data integrity verification.

What does the color visualization represent?

The colored blocks provide a visual fingerprint of the hash. Different inputs produce completely different color patterns, making it easy to spot when data has changed even slightly.

Do I need to install anything to use String Hash Visualiser?

No installation needed. String Hash Visualiser works directly in any modern web browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

Is this tool secure for sensitive data?

Yes, all processing runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server, making it safe for sensitive information.
