UUID Generator
Generate random universally unique identifiers (UUIDs / GUIDs) instantly. Create version 4 (random) or version 7 (time-ordered) UUIDs in bulk, with formatting options — all generated locally in your browser.

About the UUID Generator
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), also called a GUID, is a 128-bit value used to label data without a central authority — database keys, request IDs, file names. Version 4 UUIDs are fully random, so collisions are astronomically unlikely; version 7 embeds a timestamp so the IDs sort chronologically, which is friendlier to database indexes.
These identifiers are generated in your browser using a cryptographically secure random source, so they never touch a server. Bulk generation and formatting options make it easy to seed test data or grab a single ID for a quick task.

Frequently asked questions
What is a UUID?
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier / GUID) is a 128-bit identifier, usually shown as 32 hex digits in five hyphen-separated groups, designed to be unique without coordination between systems.
What is the difference between UUID v4 and v7?
v4 is fully random. v7 is time-ordered — it begins with a Unix millisecond timestamp, so v7 UUIDs sort chronologically, which is better for database primary keys.
Are these UUIDs unique?
In practice, yes. v4 has 122 random bits, so the chance of a collision is negligible, and they are generated with a cryptographically secure random source.
Are the UUIDs generated privately?
Yes. Generation happens entirely in your browser; nothing is sent to a server.
