UUID Generator

Generated Results

Features

  • Fast Generation: Millisecond-level generation, supports batch generation of up to 50 UUIDs, efficient and convenient
  • Secure & Reliable: Based on standard algorithm generation, ensures global uniqueness, no duplication risk
  • One-click Copy: Supports single copy and batch copy, quick paste to use
  • Multi-version Support: Supports both UUID v1 and v4 versions, meets different scenario needs
  • Local Generation: All UUIDs are generated locally in the browser, not uploaded to server, protects privacy
  • Cross-platform Compatible: Supports PC, tablet, mobile and other devices, no software installation needed

How to Use

1

Select UUID Version

Select the required UUID version on the tool page. v4 version is recommended (random generation, better privacy), if you need time-ordered UUID, you can choose v1 version.

2

Set Generation Count

Enter the number of UUIDs to generate in the count input box, supports batch generation of 1-50, choose according to actual needs.

3

Generate and Copy

Click "Generate UUID" button to generate, after generation you can click the single copy button to copy a single UUID, or click "Copy All" to batch copy all results.

Use Cases

Database Primary Key

As unique primary key for database tables, avoids exposing data volume information with auto-increment IDs

Distributed Systems

Generate globally unique ID identifiers in microservices and distributed architectures

API Interface

Used for API request IDs, order numbers, session identifiers and other business scenarios

File Naming

Generate unique filenames, avoid name conflicts during file uploads

Token Generation

Generate access tokens, verification codes, invitation codes and other security identifiers

Test Data

Generate mock data during development testing, fill test environment

UUID Version Knowledge

What is UUID v4?

UUID v4 is a UUID version based on random numbers, using random or pseudo-random numbers to generate 128-bit identifiers. v4 version is currently the most commonly used UUID version because it doesn't rely on time or hardware information, has better privacy and unpredictability.

Example:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

What is UUID v1?

UUID v1 is a UUID version based on timestamp and MAC address, generated through current timestamp, clock sequence and machine's MAC address. v1 version ensures time ordering, but exposes the generating machine's MAC address information.

Example:2c5b0e6a-1a2b-11ec-9621-0242ac130002

What is the format of UUID?

UUID consists of 32 hexadecimal digits, divided into five groups with hyphens, in the form 8-4-4-4-12, totaling 36 characters. For example: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-Mxxx-Nxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, where M represents version number, N represents variant number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the UUID generator free?
A: Completely free, no registration required, no usage limit, just open the webpage to use. All UUIDs are generated locally in the browser, not uploaded to server, protects your privacy.
Q: What's the difference between UUID v1 and v4?
A: UUID v1 is generated based on timestamp and MAC address, has time ordering but exposes hardware information; UUID v4 is generated based on random numbers, better privacy and unpredictability. Most scenarios recommend using v4 version.
Q: Will generated UUIDs duplicate?
A: The probability of UUID duplication is extremely low, can be ignored. UUID has 128 bits, theoretically can generate 3.4×10^38 different IDs, even generating 1 billion per second, it would take about 10 billion years to possibly duplicate.
Q: How many UUIDs can be generated at once?
A: This tool supports single generation of 1-50 UUIDs. If you need more, you can click the generate button multiple times, the tool will quickly generate new UUID results.
Q: What's the difference between UUID and GUID?
A: UUID and GUID are essentially the same, both refer to 128-bit globally unique identifiers. UUID is IETF standard name, GUID is Microsoft's name, both have basically the same format and generation algorithm, can be used interchangeably.
