BLAKE2b Hash Generator - Free Online Tool
Generate high-performance BLAKE2b hashes optimized for 64-bit.
What Is BLAKE2b?
BLAKE2b is a high-performance hash function optimized for 64-bit platforms that produces variable-length hashes up to 512 bits, based on the BLAKE finalist from the SHA-3 competition. It is faster than MD5 yet secure.
Specifications
Use Cases
- High-performance file integrity checks
- Password hashing with key derivation
- Modern cryptographic applications
Security Notice
BLAKE2b is suitable for cryptographic integrity checks and fingerprints when used appropriately. Use HMAC or KMAC when you need message authentication, and use a dedicated KDF such as Argon2, bcrypt, or scrypt for password storage.

How to Generate a BLAKE2b hash
- Choose UTF-8, Hex, Base64, or File input mode.
- Enter text, encoded bytes, or choose a local file to process.
- Adjust the BLAKE2b options if your use case requires non-default settings.
- Click Generate BLAKE2b 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 BLAKE2b
- Do not use a plain hash or derivation output directly as password storage without the right password-hashing construction and parameters.
