RIPEMD-160 is a 160-bit cryptographic hash function, part of the RIPEMD family. It was designed as a secure replacement for MD4 and MD5 and is commonly used in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This tool can be used on any device, including Android, Windows, Linux, and iOS through allinone.tools.

Generating a RIPEMD160 hash

This tool computes the RIPEMD160 hash of whatever you type or paste. A hash is a fixed-length string (40 characters) derived from the content, and it changes completely if the input changes even by one character.

RIPEMD160 is a hash algorithm developed in Europe. It is less widespread than the SHA family but appears in particular applications, such as deriving addresses in some cryptocurrencies.

How to use it

Paste your text into the input field. The RIPEMD160 value is computed and can then be copied.

Watch out for stray spaces or a trailing newline: they count as part of the input and will produce a different value.

What hashes are used for

For following addresses and identifiers in systems that require this algorithm.

As a check value for content it can be used like any other hash algorithm.

What hashes do not do

Because it is less common, support in tools and libraries is thinner than for SHA256.

For new work without a specific requirement, SHA256 is the more obvious choice.

Frequently asked questions

Can the original text be recovered from a RIPEMD160 value?

No. Hashing is one-way: it derives a value from the input, not the other way round. Short or very common inputs can still be guessed by trial and error, however.

Why does the same input always give the same value?

That is intentional. Identical input always yields an identical hash, and that property is exactly what makes hashes useful for comparing two pieces of content.

Does my input leave the device?
