Developer UUID tools

UUID Generator

Generate UUIDs for database rows, API resources, test data, logs, and distributed systems. The generator runs in your browser and supports single or bulk output.

UUID generator

Create UUID v4 or UUID v7 values, change casing, remove hyphens when needed, copy one value, copy all values, or download the batch.

Generate 1 to 1000 IDs per batch.

Generated values stay in your browser. This page does not send UUIDs or GUIDs to a server for generation.

What is a UUID?

A UUID is a 128-bit identifier commonly written as 32 hexadecimal characters in an 8-4-4-4-12 pattern. Developers use UUIDs when an ID needs to be generated without coordinating through one central database counter.

UUIDs are identifiers, not passwords or API secrets. They are useful for uniqueness, not for authorization.

UUID use cases

UUIDs are practical for records that may be created across services, devices, queues, workers, or test fixtures before they reach a shared database.

Database primary keys and public resource IDs
API request, event, message, and job identifiers
Mock data, fixtures, and integration tests
Log correlation IDs across services

UUID v4 vs UUID v7

UUID v4 is random and widely supported. UUID v7 includes a timestamp prefix, so newly generated values sort roughly by creation time in databases, logs, and queues.

Use UUID v4 when broad compatibility is the priority. Consider UUID v7 when ordered inserts or time-sortable IDs are useful.

FAQ

Are UUIDs generated on the server?+

No. This generator uses browser crypto APIs, so generated values stay in your browser.

Can I generate multiple UUIDs at once?+

Yes. Set a bulk count from 1 to 1000, generate the batch, then copy all values or download TXT or CSV.

Should I use UUID v4 or UUID v7?+

UUID v4 is random and compatible with older tooling. UUID v7 is timestamp ordered and can be easier to sort in databases and logs.

Can a UUID be used as a secret token?+

No. UUIDs are identifiers. Do not use them as passwords, session tokens, or authentication secrets.
