    Random UUID generator

    Need a throwaway ID for a database row, an API request, or test data? UUID v4 uses high-quality random data to create identifiers without a central server.

    UUID v4 generator

    The established default for general-purpose identifiers. UUID v4 is generated from random bits, making it a strong fit for distributed systems, tokens, fixtures, and API resources.

    UUID v7 generator

    A modern UUID with a millisecond Unix timestamp at the front. UUID v7 keeps strong randomness while improving sort order and index locality for new database workloads.

    UUID v4 vs UUID v7

    Both are 128-bit UUIDs. The best choice depends on whether you value universal support or natural time ordering.

    Quick recommendation: choose v4 for maximum compatibility. Consider v7 for new systems where ordered inserts and database index behavior matter.

    Anatomy of an identifier

    UUID format, length
    and examples

    Every UUID is 128 bits. The familiar string uses 32 hexadecimal characters and four hyphens, producing a total length of 36 characters.

    Straight answers

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to generate and use UUIDs with confidence.

    What is a UUID?

    A UUID is a 128-bit identifier designed to uniquely label data without requiring a central authority. It is commonly used for database records, API resources, files, and distributed systems.

    How do I generate a UUID?

    Choose UUID v4 or UUID v7, select how many identifiers you need, and click Generate UUIDs. Everything is generated locally in your browser.

    Is a UUID guaranteed to be unique?

    No finite identifier can offer a mathematical guarantee, but a correctly generated UUID has such a low collision probability that it is considered unique for practical software systems.

    How long is a UUID?

    A UUID is 128 bits. Its standard text representation contains 32 hexadecimal characters plus four hyphens, for a total length of 36 characters.

    What is the difference between UUID v4 and v7?

    UUID v4 is random. UUID v7 combines a Unix timestamp with random data, so identifiers are naturally time ordered and can offer better index locality in databases.

    Can I generate multiple UUIDs at once?

    Yes. You can generate 1, 5, 10, 50, or 100 UUIDs in one batch, then copy all results or download them as a text file.

    Are my UUIDs sent to a server?

    No. UUID generation, formatting, copying, and downloading happen entirely inside your browser. Generated values are not uploaded or stored.
