UUID v4 — All generated UUIDs use version 4 (random). Version and variant bits are set per RFC 4122. Format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx where y is 8, 9, a, or b.

Generate RFC 4122-compliant UUID v4 identifiers

🎲

True Randomness via Crypto API

UUIDs are generated using window.crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator — ensuring statistically unique identifiers every time.

📋

Bulk Generation

Generate 1 to 100 UUIDs at once. Copy them all to clipboard in a single click — perfect for seeding databases, creating test fixtures, or generating batch identifiers.

🔧

Multiple Format Options

Output in standard hyphenated format (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx), uppercase, lowercase, or no-hyphen format to match your specific database or API requirement.


UUID Generator — FAQ

What is a UUID and what is it used for?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), also known as GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), is a 128-bit label used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. They are widely used as primary keys in databases, session tokens, file names, API resource IDs, and anywhere a unique identifier is needed without a central issuing authority.

What is the difference between UUID v4 and other versions?

UUID v4 is randomly generated (122 random bits + 6 version/variant bits), making it the most commonly used version for general purposes. UUID v1 is time-based (includes the MAC address and timestamp). UUID v5 is name-based using SHA-1 hashing. For most applications, v4 is the recommended choice.

Can two UUID v4 values ever be the same?

The probability of a collision is astronomically low — approximately 1 in 5.3 × 10^36. You would need to generate over a quintillion UUIDs to have even a 50% chance of a single collision. In practice, UUID v4 values are treated as universally unique for all real-world applications.
