What this tool does
  • Generates cryptographically-random UUID v4 values
  • Lets you output multiple UUIDs at once
  • Supports common formats: hyphens, uppercase, braces
UUID OUTPUT
5 UUIDs ready to copy.
Tip: Use UUIDs as unique identifiers for databases, APIs, test data, and object keys. Generate multiple IDs and copy in one click.
UUIDs are generated locally using your browser’s cryptographic RNG. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

How It Works

UUID v4 values are generated from random bytes and formatted according to the UUID specification. This tool generates the UUIDs locally in your browser using cryptographic randomness.

You can generate a single UUID or a bulk list, then choose common formatting options like hyphens, uppercase, or braces depending on your system’s requirements.

  1. UUID v4: Random-based UUIDs used widely in modern systems.
  2. Bulk output: Generate many UUIDs at once for fixtures and datasets.
  3. Formatting: Hyphens, uppercase, braces to match common conventions.
  4. Local-only: Nothing is uploaded - runs entirely in your browser.

About This Generator

Developers use UUIDs as stable, collision-resistant identifiers for database records, API resources, request tracking, and distributed systems.

If your tooling expects GUIDs, UUID v4 is typically compatible - and formatting options help match whatever your stack expects.

  1. Databases: Use UUIDs as primary keys or external IDs.
  2. APIs: Create resource identifiers and correlation IDs.
  3. Testing: Generate unique IDs for fixtures and sample payloads.

FAQ

What is a UUID v4?

UUID v4 is a universally unique identifier generated from random numbers. It’s commonly used as a unique ID for records, resources, and events.

Is this UUID generator truly random?

It uses your browser’s cryptographic random number generator (and crypto.randomUUID when available), which is designed for secure randomness.

Can I generate multiple UUIDs at once?

Yes. Increase the count to generate a bulk list of UUIDs and copy them in one click.

Can I generate UUIDs without hyphens or in uppercase?

Yes. Use the formatting options to remove hyphens, output uppercase, or wrap UUIDs in braces.

Does this tool upload or store my UUIDs?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
