What is UUID?

A UUID generator producing standard RFC 4122 identifiers: random v4, timestamped v1, and time-ordered v7 for database keys.

How it works

v4 uses crypto.randomUUID; v1 and v7 derive from the current timestamp plus crypto-safe random bits, formatted per the RFC.

Examples

Generating identifiers

Generate one or many UUIDs for database keys, order IDs, or client tokens — v4 (random) by default, v1 and v7 available.

Common mistakes

UUID versions matter

v1 leaks time and MAC info; v4 is random; v7 is time-ordered. Pick per use case — the tool explains each.

Frequently asked questions

Is v4 truly random?

It uses the browser's cryptographically secure random source.

Can I generate a batch?

Yes — set a count and get newline-separated UUIDs.
