MD5

32-character hexadecimal string. While not cryptographically secure for hashing, the generated keys use secure random values and are suitable for API keys.

SHA256

64-character hexadecimal string. Provides a longer key length and is commonly used in modern applications and security-conscious environments.

SHA512

128-character hexadecimal string. Offers the longest key length for maximum uniqueness and security requirements.
