About RIPEMD-160 Hash Generator Online
RIPEMD-160 produces a 160-bit digest and was designed in Europe as an alternative to the SHA family. It is historically significant as the hash function used in Bitcoin and Ethereum address generation. For new designs, prefer SHA-256 or SHA-3.
Use this tool to quickly compute a RIPEMD-160 hash for any text string. Enter your input, run the tool, and copy the hexadecimal digest. You can switch between lower-case and upper-case hex output to match the convention expected by your system.
How to use this tool
How to generate a RIPEMD-160 hash
Enter your text
Paste or type any plain text into the Text field — up to 200,000 characters. This is the string that will be hashed using the RIPEMD-160 algorithm.
Choose hex case
Select lower case (a–f, the default) or UPPER CASE (A–F) for the hexadecimal output. Both are valid — choose based on what your downstream system expects.
Run and copy the hash
Press Run. The RIPEMD-160 hash is computed server-side and returned as a hexadecimal string. Click Copy to grab it. RIPEMD-160 produces a 160-bit digest and is historically used in Bitcoin address generation. It is considered legacy — do not use it for new security-sensitive designs.
Verify or compare
To verify a file's integrity, hash it as text and compare the output to the published checksum. To check two strings are equal without revealing the originals, hash both and compare the digests — identical digests mean identical inputs.
