What is UUID Generator?
UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers), also known as GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers), are 128-bit labels used in software development to uniquely identify information without central coordination. Our UUID Generator creates cryptographically secure Version 4 UUIDs, which are randomly generated and provide an extremely high probability of uniqueness.
Version 4 UUIDs are generated using random numbers, making them ideal for most use cases where unique identifiers are needed. With 122 random bits, the probability of a collision is negligible, even when generating billions of UUIDs. This makes them perfect for database primary keys, session identifiers, request tracking IDs, and more.
This tool uses the Web Crypto API for true randomness, not Math.random(). Generate one UUID or hundreds at a time, copy individual UUIDs or all at once, and format them with or without hyphens. All generation happens locally in your browser for maximum privacy and speed.
How to use
- 1 Select the quantity of UUIDs you want to generate (1-1000)
- 2 Choose your preferred format: with hyphens, without hyphens, or uppercase
- 3 Click the "Generate UUIDs" button to create your identifiers
- 4 Click on any individual UUID to copy it to your clipboard
- 5 Or click "Copy All" to copy all generated UUIDs at once
- 6 Optionally download the UUIDs as a text file for your records
- 7 Click "Generate" again to create a fresh set of random UUIDs
