UUID Generator
Generate unique, cryptographically secure v4 UUIDs.

The UUID Generator creates universally unique identifiers in the UUID v4 format, generated using a cryptographically secure algorithm directly in the browser. UUIDs are widely used in software development as database primary keys, session identifiers, unique file names, and in any situation where you need an ID that won't collide with others.
To generate, just choose the desired quantity (from 1 to 100 at a time) and click the button. You can opt for uppercase or lowercase UUIDs depending on your project's convention. Each generated UUID can be copied individually, or you can copy all of them at once to paste into your editor, spreadsheet, or database.
The UUID v4 format follows the RFC 4122 standard — eight groups of hexadecimal characters separated by hyphens (for example: '550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000'). The randomness ensures that the probability of two identical UUIDs being generated is astronomically low, making them safe for use as unique identifiers in distributed systems.
Practical use cases: populating database seeds during testing, generating IDs for new records during local development, creating unique names for uploaded files, and preparing fixtures for automated tests. Processing happens entirely in the browser — no generated UUID is transmitted to external servers.
Frequently asked questions
Is the UUID Generator free?
Yes, completely free with no usage limit.
Are the generated UUIDs sent to a server?
No. Generation uses the browser's native cryptography API. No data is transmitted externally.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Works in any modern browser on mobile or tablet.
Are the generated UUIDs truly unique?
UUID v4 uses 122 bits of cryptographically secure randomness. The probability of collision is so low it is considered negligible for any practical use.
Can I use these UUIDs as primary keys in a database?
Yes. UUID v4 is widely used as a primary key in databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB, especially in distributed systems where there is no centralized sequence generator.
