Is it private and secure?
Your privacy is built in. MD5 Generator runs completely on your device, so whatever you enter stays in your browser and is never transmitted, logged or stored on any server.
Network activity: none. Nothing is sent and nothing is fetched. This tool makes no network request at all once the page has loaded — which is why it keeps working if your connection drops.
You do not have to take that on trust — our privacy proof page publishes the Content-Security-Policy that enforces it, lists every third party it permits, and shows how to verify the whole claim yourself.

Are Online Password Generators Safe? — A password generated on a server has been known to that server. Here's how to tell which generators are safe, and what actually makes a password strong.
Frequently asked questions
Is MD5 still safe to use?
Not for security. Practical collision attacks have existed since 2004, and two different files can be constructed to share an MD5 hash, so it cannot prove a file is unmodified. It remains perfectly serviceable as a fast checksum for detecting accidental corruption.
What is MD5 still legitimately used for?
Verifying that a download completed intact, deduplicating files, cache keys and ETags — all cases where the only adversary is chance. Many projects still publish MD5 sums alongside SHA-256 for exactly this reason.
Should I use MD5 for passwords?
No, and unsalted MD5 password storage is one of the most commonly exploited weaknesses in breached databases. Its speed makes brute-forcing trivial. Use bcrypt, scrypt or Argon2.
Why is my MD5 different from the published one?
Usually because a different byte stream was hashed — a partial download, a file opened in text mode that rewrote line endings, or a hash taken of an archive rather than its contents.
