## FAQ

### Which algorithms are supported?

MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512.

### Can I hash files?

Use the File Hash Calculator tool for file hashing. This tool is for text input.

### Is it safe to paste production data?

Yes. Hashing runs in your browser via the Web Crypto API. Inputs and digests stay on the page; nothing is logged, sent, or cached server-side. Safe for credentials, tokens, and proprietary payloads.

## Privacy

This tool runs entirely in the browser. Files are not uploaded to a server. They never leave the user's device.
