UUID Generator

Generate UUID v4 universally unique identifiers instantly. Generate single or bulk UUIDs.

What Is the UUID Generator?

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 4 uses random numbers to generate identifiers with an astronomically low chance of collision. Used in databases, APIs, and distributed systems.

Formula

UUID v4 = xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

How to Use

Click Generate to create a UUID v4. Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard. Use the bulk generator to create up to 50 UUIDs at once.

Example Calculation

A UUID v4 looks like: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. It contains 122 bits of randomness in 32 hexadecimal digits formatted as 8-4-4-4-12.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UUID v4?

UUID v4 uses randomly generated bits. It has 2^122 possible values (5.3×10^36), making collisions practically impossible.

When should I use UUIDs?

Use UUIDs as primary keys in databases, session tokens, or any system where globally unique IDs are needed without coordination.

What is the difference between UUID v1 and v4?

UUID v1 is time-based and reveals creation time and machine MAC address. UUID v4 is completely random and preferred for privacy.
