MD4 is a 128-bit message digest algorithm defined in RFC 1320. It influenced later algorithms such as MD5, but MD4 itself is cryptographically broken.
Use this page when you need to reproduce an MD4 digest for a legacy workflow, test fixture, or migration. For modern integrity checks, SHA-256 or SHA-512 is a better default.
How to Use MD4 Hash Generator
Type or paste the text you want to hash
Review the generated MD4 output
Toggle uppercase if a target system expects capital hex
Copy the digest for comparison, fixtures, or legacy compatibility checks
Common Use Cases
- Reproducing old MD4 digest values for regression tests.
- Debugging legacy protocols or migration scripts.
- Comparing historical MD4 values during data cleanup.
- Generating compatibility output for systems that still require MD4.
Example Input and Output
Generate an MD4 value from the standard sample input.

The tool encodes input as UTF-8 bytes and runs a browser-side RFC 1320 MD4 implementation. The digest is formatted as hexadecimal with an optional uppercase display toggle. No input is uploaded or stored.
Technical Stack
Variant
RFC 1320 MD4 over UTF-8 input bytes.
Security note
MD4 is for legacy compatibility only. Prefer SHA-256 or SHA-512 for current integrity workflows.
