UUID Generator
Generate UUIDs in bulk with the Web Crypto API: random v4, time-sortable v7, or the nil UUID, in the format you need. Validate any UUID too.

How to use UUID Generator
- Choose a version: v4 for random IDs, v7 for IDs that sort by creation time, or the nil UUID.
- Set how many you need (up to 1,000) and tick any format options such as uppercase, no hyphens or braces.
- Copy the list or download it as a text file. Paste any UUID into the validator to check its version.

Frequently asked questions
What is a UUID?
A Universally Unique Identifier is a 128-bit value, written as 32 hex digits in the pattern 8-4-4-4-12, used to label records without a central authority. GUID is Microsoft’s name for the same thing.
What is the difference between v4 and v7?
Version 4 is entirely random. Version 7 starts with a millisecond timestamp followed by random bits, so v7 IDs sort in creation order, which makes database indexes faster. Both are defined in RFC 9562.
Can two UUIDs collide?
For v4, with 122 random bits, you would need to generate about a billion UUIDs per second for roughly 85 years to have even a 50% chance of a single collision, so in practice they are unique.
Are these UUIDs secure to use as secrets?
They are generated with a secure random source, but a UUID is an identifier, not a secret. For tokens and passwords use the Password Generator instead.
