About the UUID Generator

Create up to 1,000 UUIDs at once using your browser’s secure random generator. Version 7 UUIDs start with a timestamp so they sort in creation order — ideal for database keys.

How does the UUID Generator work?

A version 4 UUID is 122 random bits in the standard 8-4-4-4-12 hex format. A version 7 UUID starts with a millisecond timestamp followed by random bits, so values created later sort after earlier ones — kinder to database indexes than purely random IDs.

Example

v4: 3f0e6c2a-9b1d-4c5e-8a7f-2d6b1e9c4a10 · v7: 01923f4e-7b2a-7c3d-9e1f-5a6b7c8d9e0f (the leading digits encode the creation time).

Frequently asked questions

Can two UUIDs collide?

In practice, no: a v4 UUID has 122 random bits, so the chance of a duplicate is astronomically small.

Can two UUIDs ever be the same?

In practice, no. With 122 random bits you would need to generate billions of UUIDs per second for many years before a collision became likely.

UUID or GUID?

They’re the same thing — GUID is Microsoft’s name for a UUID.
