What is a UUID?

A UUID is a universally unique identifier commonly used to label records and events across software systems without coordinating with a central ID service.

What is UUID v4?

UUID v4 values are generated from random bytes with defined version and variant bits. They are commonly used for development IDs, APIs, databases, logs, tests, and sample data.

How to use this UUID Generator

UUID vs GUID

GUID is a term commonly used in Microsoft ecosystems, while UUID is the broader standards-based term. In everyday development, both usually refer to the same kind of 128-bit identifier.

UUIDs are not secrets

Do not use UUIDs as passwords, private keys, API keys, session secrets, or encryption keys. Use a purpose-built cryptographic token generator for secret material.

Privacy

This generator runs entirely in your browser. Generated values are not uploaded, sent to a backend, stored automatically, or included in analytics events.
