Free, browser-based utilities for everyday developer workflows

UUID / GUID Generator

Generate version 4 UUIDs (random) directly in your browser using cryptographically secure randomness. Configure how many IDs you need and how they should be formatted.

  • Generate UUID v4 values instantly.
  • Bulk-generate and copy lists of UUIDs.
  • Handy for IDs in tests and databases.
  • Share results: Generate a secure link to share your current input and results with teammates — nothing is uploaded to any server.

Generation options

UUID v5 namespace/name options

UUID v5 is deterministic. The same namespace and name produce the same UUID; do not use it when unpredictability is required.

Uses browser cryptographic randomness for UUID v4 and UUID v7 random fields. If secure randomness is unavailable, generation is blocked.

Generated UUIDs

Validate / Decode

Paste a UUID, GUID, URN, no-hyphen value, quoted value, or a list. Validation and normalization run locally.

UUID v4 has 122 random bits and negligible collision risk for normal application usage. UUID v7 is sortable but exposes approximate creation time. UUID v5 is deterministic, not random. GUID is commonly Microsoft terminology for UUID-like identifiers.

Snippets

Next Steps

Generate or validate UUIDs, then send the list to CSV, SQL, comparison, timestamp, or cleanup tools.

How to use the UUID Generator

Generate one or many UUIDs (UUID v4) at a time for test data, database seeds, API fixtures, primary keys, log correlation IDs, and migration scripts. Pick the format — standard lowercase with hyphens, uppercase, no-hyphens (32-char hex), or wrapped in braces — and download or copy in bulk. UUIDs are generated cryptographically in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

What it does

When to use it

How to use it

  1. Set the quantity — 1 for a single ID, more for bulk needs.
  2. Choose the format: hyphenated lowercase (most common), uppercase, no hyphens, or braces.
  3. Click Generate; copy or download the list.

Runs locally in your browser using crypto.getRandomValues. No uploads. UUIDs are unique IDs, not secrets — generate tokens with the Token Generator.
