Tool Introduction
LM Hash is a powerful online hash calculation tool designed to help users quickly and conveniently process hash values of various strings. It supports common plaintext, Hex (hexadecimal), and Base64 encoded string formats as input, and can output the calculated hash values in both Hex and Base64 formats. In addition, users can flexibly choose the case of the output results to meet the needs of different application scenarios.
How to Use
- Enter the string to be processed: In the "String to be encrypted" text box, enter the text, Hex, or Base64 string you need to hash. The default value is "This is a plaintext string".
- Select input type: According to the actual format of your input string, select the corresponding type (Plaintext, Hex, or Base64) from the "Input Type" dropdown menu. Please ensure that the selected type matches the input content to avoid calculation errors.
- Select case: In the "Case" option, choose whether you want the output hash result to be "Lowercase" or "Uppercase". This setting will apply to both Hex and Base64 output formats.
- Get hash result: After completing the above settings, the tool will automatically or after you trigger the calculation, display the calculated Hex and Base64 format hash values in the result area.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What input formats does the LM Hash tool support?
- A: The LM Hash tool supports three input formats: Plaintext, Hex (hexadecimal), and Base64. Users need to choose according to the actual encoding type of the input data.
- Q: What is the format of the output result?
- A: The hash result will be presented in both Hex (hexadecimal) and Base64 encoding formats. You can choose to display lowercase or uppercase as needed.
- Q: Which hash algorithm is used?
- A: The hash algorithm of this tool is an internal implementation, designed to provide secure and consistent hash results. Specific algorithm details are not disclosed, but the stability and reliability of its calculation results are ensured.
- Q: How large a string can be processed?
- A: The tool has no strict limit on the length of the input string and can handle longer texts. However, please note that extremely long strings may slightly increase the calculation time.
Precautions
- Input format matching: Please ensure that the "Input Type" you select is consistent with the actual format of the "String to be encrypted". For example, if the input is a Hex string, you must select "Hex", otherwise it may lead to incorrect calculation results.
- Unidirectionality of hashing: Hash calculation is a unidirectional (irreversible) process, and the original plaintext cannot be restored from the hash value. Hashing is mainly used for data integrity verification and quick comparison.
- Case only affects display: Choosing lowercase or uppercase only affects the visual presentation of the output result, and the underlying binary data of the hash value remains unchanged.
- Browser compatibility: For the best experience, it is recommended to use mainstream modern browsers to access and use this tool.
