UUID v5 Generator

Generate version 5 UUIDs (name-based UUIDs using SHA-1) instantly. These UUIDs are created by hashing a namespace identifier and name, providing a more secure alternative to version 3 UUIDs.

Bulk UUID Generation

Enter the number of UUIDs to generate and download them as a text file. Ideal for batch processing and data management tasks.

About UUID Version 5

What is UUID v5?

UUID version 5 generates name-based UUIDs using SHA-1 hashing. Similar to version 3, it takes a namespace identifier and name as input, but uses a more secure hashing algorithm. This makes it ideal for applications requiring both deterministic IDs and enhanced security.

Advantages of UUID v5

Enhanced SecurityUses SHA-1 for more secure hash generation

DeterministicConsistent UUIDs for same inputs

Name-BasedMeaningful identifiers from names

Collision ResistantHigher collision resistance than v3

Best Use Cases

Security Applications:Perfect for applications requiring secure deterministic IDs
Content Hashing:Ideal for generating content-based identifiers
Domain-Specific IDs:Great for creating domain-specific unique identifiers
Data Integrity:Excellent for verifying data integrity across systems
