Generate UUIDs (v1, v4)

About the UUID Generator

UUID Generator creates universally unique identifiers (UUIDs/GUIDs) for use as primary keys, request IDs, and other identifiers that must not collide.

Generate one or many at once. IDs are produced locally in your browser, so they are never logged or transmitted.

Common use cases

  • Creating database primary keys
  • Generating request or correlation IDs for logs
  • Seeding test data with unique values
  • Producing unique file or resource names

How to use the UUID Generator

  1. Choose the UUID version you need.
  2. Click Generate to create one or more UUIDs.
  3. Copy the generated identifier(s).

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between v1 and v4 UUIDs?

v1 is time-based and includes a timestamp, while v4 is randomly generated. v4 is the most common choice for general-purpose IDs.

Are the UUIDs truly unique?

The probability of a v4 collision is astronomically small, making them safe as unique identifiers in practice.

Are they generated locally?

Yes, UUIDs are created in your browser and never sent anywhere.
