UUID Generator
Generate random UUID v4 strings instantly — one or in bulk. Copy-paste ready GUIDs for databases, APIs, and unique identifiers.
How to use the uuid generator
Pick how many UUIDs you need (1–500), choose case, and click Generate. Each UUID is independent v4 — random except for the version and variant nibbles.
Formula & explanation
UUID v4 has 122 bits of randomness, giving ~5.3 × 10³⁶ possibilities. Collision probability is effectively zero for any practical workload. Format: 8-4-4-4-12 hex digits.
Examples
9fa8b1c4-3d50-4f9a-b3e1-7d2f6c0a4b58 — version digit ('4') is fixed, variant first hex of 4th group is 8/9/a/b.
Frequently asked questions
- Are these UUIDs unique?
- Statistically yes. You'd need ~2.7 × 10¹⁸ UUIDs before a collision is expected (birthday paradox).
- Is this v4 or v7?
- v4 (random). Need v7 for time-ordered IDs? It's an easy add — file a feature request.
- Why not v1 (timestamp + MAC)?
- v1 leaks the generating machine's MAC address and creation time, which is a privacy concern.
