Frequently asked questions

Is SHA-256 encryption?

No. A hash is a one-way fingerprint; it cannot be turned back into the original.

Why is MD5 not included?

MD5 is outdated and not supported by the browser's built-in crypto. SHA-256 is the recommended choice.

Are my files uploaded?

Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
