What is a UUID & how it works

Globally unique IDs without coordination

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit value written as 32 hex digits in five groups, like 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. Systems generate them independently, without a central counter, and can still rely on them never colliding in practice.

Version 4 UUIDs are 122 random bits and are the default choice. Version 7 (RFC 9562) starts with a millisecond timestamp, so values sort by creation time, which keeps database indexes compact. UUIDs here are generated in your browser with a cryptographically secure random source.

v4
Fully random; the most widely supported version.
v7
Timestamp-first and sortable; better for database primary keys.
Nil UUID
All zeros; a placeholder meaning “no value”.

How to use this tool

Generate UUIDs in four steps
1
Choose a version
Pick v4 for random IDs, v7 for time-ordered IDs, or the nil UUID.
2
Set the quantity
Generate a single UUID or a batch for seeding data or tests.
3
Pick a format
Choose case and whether to keep the hyphens or wrap values in braces.
4
Copy or download
Copy the UUIDs to your clipboard or download them as a file.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about UUIDs
5 Q&A

In theory, yes; in practice, no. With 122 random bits, you would need to generate about a billion v4 UUIDs per second for around 85 years to reach a 50% chance of a single collision.

Use v7 for database primary keys: its time-ordered prefix keeps B-tree indexes efficient. Use v4 when the ID should reveal nothing about when it was created.

Yes. GUID is Microsoft’s name for the same 128-bit format; Windows tools often show GUIDs in uppercase and wrapped in braces.

A v4 UUID is random, but it is not designed as a secret and v7 is partly predictable. For session tokens or API keys, use a purpose-built generator with 128+ bits of entropy.

No. They are created in your browser using crypto.getRandomValues and never sent anywhere.
