What is UUID / GUID Generator?

UUID Generator is an online utility that creates Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID Version 4) according to RFC 4122 specifications, providing 122 bits of cryptographic entropy.

How UUID / GUID Generator Works

The tool uses `crypto.randomUUID()` (or 128-bit `crypto.getRandomValues()` with RFC 4122 variant and version bit-masking) to generate random 36-character hexadecimal identifiers with near-zero collision probability.

Key Features

  • ✓Cryptographically random generation powered by browser Web Crypto API
  • ✓Batch generation support (1 to 100 UUIDs at once)
  • ✓Optional uppercase or hyphen-free formatting
  • ✓One-click copy of individual or bulk UUIDs

Common Use Cases

  • •Generating primary keys for distributed databases (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB)
  • •Assigning unique transaction tracking IDs and request IDs in microservices
  • •Creating unique session identifiers and API key tokens

Examples & Sample Data

Standard RFC 4122 v4 UUID

Input
Generate 1 UUID (lowercase with hyphens)
Output
f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479

Contains version 4 indicator ('4' at digit 13) and RFC 4122 variant bits ('8', '9', 'a', or 'b' at digit 17).

🔒

100% Client-Side Privacy Guarantee

UUIDs are generated entirely in local client memory via the Web Crypto API. No generated UUIDs are stored or transmitted.
