UUID v5 Generator

Generate deterministic name-based UUIDs (v5, SHA-1) from names and a namespace.

Runs locally in your browser. Your input is not uploaded.

How to Use

  1. 1

    Pick the namespace

    DNS, URL, OID, X.500, or a custom namespace UUID.

  2. 2

    Enter names

    One per line — e.g. hostnames under the DNS namespace.

  3. 3

    Copy the UUIDs

    The same name + namespace always yields the same UUID.

Frequently Asked Questions

A name-based UUID computed by SHA-1 hashing a namespace UUID plus a name — the same inputs always produce the same UUID, unlike random v4s. Perfect for stable IDs derived from external keys.
