UUID Generator

Generate cryptographically unique UUIDs instantly. Bulk generate up to 500 at once. Everything runs in your browser.

Click Generate to create a UUID

Randomly generated, most secure.

Paste any UUID to check if it's valid and what version it is.

How to Use the UUID Generator

1

Choose UUID version (v4 for random, v1 for time-based), output format, and how many you need.

2

Click "Generate UUIDs" — the single UUID at the top updates, and the full list appears below.

3

Copy individual UUIDs, copy all at once, or download the entire list as a .txt file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UUID?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier used in software to uniquely identify objects, database rows, sessions, and more — without needing a central authority to assign them.

What's the difference between UUID v4 and v1?

v4 is randomly generated — the most common and safest choice. v1 is time-based and includes a timestamp, which makes UUIDs sortable but reveals when they were created.

Can two generated UUIDs ever be the same?

Theoretically yes, but the probability is astronomically small — roughly 1 in 5.3 undecillion for v4. In practice, duplicates are considered impossible.

Are these UUIDs safe to use in production?

Yes. v4 UUIDs use crypto.getRandomValues() — the same cryptographically secure source used by professional tools.
