How it works

Generates cryptographically random UUIDs. Version 4 uses pure randomness. Version 7 encodes a millisecond timestamp in the first 48 bits, making it sortable and database-friendly.

Step by step

  1. 01Select UUID version: v4 for random, v7 for time-ordered.
  2. 02Choose how many UUIDs to generate (1, 5, or 10).
  3. 03Select output format: standard (hyphens), no hyphens, or uppercase.
  4. 04Click Regenerate to produce a new batch.

Examples

Generate 1 UUID v4

Output is a random UUID like 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between UUID v4 and v7?

UUID v4 is completely random (122 random bits). UUID v7 encodes the current timestamp in the first 48 bits, making it monotonically increasing and ideal for use as database primary keys.

Are these UUIDs safe to use in production?

Yes. This generator uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.randomUUID or crypto.getRandomValues), which is cryptographically secure.
