What is a UUID?
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), also known as a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), is a 128-bit identifier standardized by RFC 4122. UUID v4 is randomly generated, making collisions virtually impossible. They are widely used in databases, APIs, distributed systems, and software development to uniquely identify records, sessions, files, and more without a central authority.
Features
UUID v4 (Random)

Frequently Asked Questions
UUID and GUID refer to the same concept. UUID is the formal RFC 4122 standard term, while GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is the term Microsoft uses. Both follow the same 8-4-4-4-12 hexadecimal format.
UUID v4 uses 122 random bits, giving 2^122 possible values. The probability of generating two identical UUIDs is astronomically small, effectively zero for any practical application.
UUID v4 is used as primary keys in databases, unique tokens in APIs, session identifiers, file names, and anywhere a unique identifier is needed across distributed systems without coordination.
No. All UUIDs are generated entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Nothing is sent to or stored on any server.
Yes. Set the count between 1 and 100 and click Generate. All UUIDs are generated at once and can be copied as a newline-separated list.
