What is RipeMD Hash Generator?
The RipeMD Hash Generator computes checksums in the RipeMD family - RipeMD-128, RipeMD-160, RipeMD-256, and RipeMD-320 - from any text you enter. RipeMD is an open cryptographic hash function designed in the 1990s as an alternative to MD4/MD5. RipeMD-160 is the best-known variant and is a building block of Bitcoin address generation and OpenPGP. This tool runs a pure-JavaScript implementation entirely in your browser, so nothing is ever uploaded.
Key Benefits
- Four RipeMD variants from a single input
- Pure in-browser JavaScript - no crypto.subtle dependency
- Instant, debounced results as you type
- One-click copy of the hex digest
- 100% offline - fits a static site export
Common Use Cases
- •Verifying Bitcoin / OpenPGP RipeMD-160 digests
- •Cross-checking legacy file checksums
- •Learning how RipeMD differs from SHA-2
- •Generating fingerprints for short identifiers
- •Auditing RipeMD values in security coursework
How to Generate RipeMD Hashes
- Pick a variant: Choose RipeMD-128 (legacy), RipeMD-160 (recommended, used by Bitcoin), RipeMD-256, or RipeMD-320 from the dropdown.
- Enter your text: Type or paste the text you want to hash into the input box. The hash updates automatically as you type.
- Read the output: The hex hash appears in the result box, along with its length in characters. Identical input always yields the same hash.
- Copy the hash: Click the copy icon to copy the hex digest to your clipboard, ready to paste into a verification script or documentation.
