About the Hash Identifier

Free hash identifier. Paste a hash and it guesses the algorithm — MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512, bcrypt, Argon2 and more — from its length, characters and prefix, and explains its structure. Runs in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Paste a hash

    Any hex or crypt-format string.

  2. 2

    See the guesses

    Likely algorithms with confidence.

  3. 3

    Read the structure

    For bcrypt: cost, salt and hash.

Frequently asked questions

Not always — MD5 and NTLM share a length, for example. It reports the most likely candidates with a confidence level.

No. It only identifies the likely type and explains the format. Secure hashes can't be reversed.
