Is hashing the same as encryption?
No. Hashing is one-way and cannot be reversed to recover the original text.
Generate MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 hashes from text input using an online hash generator.

MD5: 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592 SHA-1: aaf4c61ddcc5e8a2dabede0f3b482cd9aea9434d SHA-256: 2cf24dba5fb0a30e26e83b2ac5b9e29e1b161e5c1fa7425e73043362938b9824
Hashes are deterministic: the same input always yields the same output.
No. Hashing is one-way and cannot be reversed to recover the original text.
MD5 is fast but not collision-resistant. Use SHA-256 for security-sensitive use cases.
No. Hashing happens locally in your browser.
