What Is a UUID Generator?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) generator creates 128-bit identifiers that are statistically guaranteed to be unique across space and time. UUIDs are used in databases, APIs, distributed systems, and session management to identify resources without requiring a central authority. Our generator creates UUIDs entirely in your browser using cryptographically secure random number generation.

How to Use UUID Generator

  1. Select UUID version

    Choose the UUID version to generate: v4 (random) is the most common, or select v1 (timestamp-based).

  2. Generate UUIDs

    Click Generate to create one or more UUIDs instantly.

  3. Copy the result

    Copy individual UUIDs or the entire batch to your clipboard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between UUID v1 and v4?

UUID v1 is generated using the current timestamp and the machine's MAC address, making it time-sortable but potentially revealing information about when and where it was created. UUID v4 is generated from random numbers and is the most widely used version for its simplicity and privacy.

Can two UUIDs ever be the same?

Theoretically yes, but the probability is astronomically low. With UUID v4, you would need to generate approximately 2.7 quintillion UUIDs to have a 50% chance of a single collision. For all practical purposes, UUIDs are unique.

What format does a UUID use?

A UUID is a 128-bit number displayed as 32 hexadecimal digits in the format 8-4-4-4-12, such as 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. The hyphens are optional but conventional.
