Frequently asked questions

Is MD5 secure?

No — MD5 is broken for security purposes (collisions are easy to produce) but is still widely used for basic file-integrity checksums, which is why it's included here.

Does my file get uploaded to check its hash?

No. The file is read and hashed entirely in your browser tab; it's never transmitted anywhere.

Doing this by hand every week? That's exactly what I remove.

If this conversion is one small step in a bigger workflow — say, files arriving by email, getting converted, renamed and filed by a person every time — I build software that does the whole thing automatically. My clients get back up to 18 hours a week this way.
