Tool Introduction
LM Hash is a powerful online hash calculation tool designed to help users quickly and conveniently process hash values for 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. Additionally, users can flexibly choose the case of the output results to meet different application scenario requirements.
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, select 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 formatted 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 select based on the actual encoding type of the input data.
- Q: What is the format of the output result?
- A: The hash results will be presented simultaneously 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 internally implemented, designed to provide secure and consistent hash results. Specific algorithm details are not disclosed, but its stability and reliability of 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 calculation time.
Notes
- 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.
- One-way Nature of Hashing: Hash calculation is a one-way (irreversible) process; it is impossible to restore the original plaintext from a hash value. Hashing is primarily 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; 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.
