BLAKE1-512 Generator - SHA-3 Finalist Legacy
Generate BLAKE1-512 hashes - the 512-bit SHA-3 finalist, rare legacy hash superseded by BLAKE2b.
What Is BLAKE1-512?
BLAKE1-512 is a 512-bit hash function from the original BLAKE family, a SHA-3 finalist using 64-bit words and 16 rounds with optional salt parameter. It is rarely used today, superseded by BLAKE2b and BLAKE3.

Security Notice
BLAKE1 is superseded by BLAKE2 and BLAKE3. For new 512-bit hashing, use BLAKE2b or BLAKE3. BLAKE1 should only be used for legacy compatibility.

How to Generate a BLAKE1-512 hash
- Choose UTF-8, Hex, Base64, or File input mode.
- Enter text, encoded bytes, or choose a local file to process.
- Adjust the BLAKE1-512 options if your use case requires non-default settings.
- Click Generate BLAKE1-512 Hash and copy the result.
Example Input
Sample input:
abc
Use this sample input, then copy the generated hash from the result panel.
When Not to Use BLAKE1-512
- Do not use a plain hash or derivation output directly as password storage without the right password-hashing construction and parameters.
- For new systems, prefer BLAKE2b or BLAKE3 unless compatibility requires BLAKE1.
