BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. It is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9 is generally considered healthy. Our calculator supports both metric and imperial units.

A hash function takes an input and produces a fixed-length string of characters called a hash or digest. Common algorithms include MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-256. Hashes are used for data integrity verification, password storage, and digital signatures. Our tool generates hashes using multiple algorithms.

Currently, ToolPilot does not offer a public API. All tools are designed to run client-side in your browser. If you need programmatic access to similar functionality, the underlying algorithms are implemented in standard JavaScript and can be replicated in your own projects.
