Encoding & Hashing

Active

Models fudge hashes, base64, and UUIDs; this returns exact, byte-for-byte results.

5 tools

Deterministic encoding and identifier utilities: hash text (MD5/SHA), base64 and URL encode or decode, generate UUIDs (v4/v7), and decode JWTs. Exact, byte-for-byte results computed locally, where a model would otherwise guess.
