UUID Generator

How this tool works Documentation & SEO

A tool to generate Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs), also known as Globally Unique Identifiers (GUIDs). Whether you need version 1 (time-based), version 4 (random - most common), or the new version 7 (time-ordered sortable), this tool provides compliant identifiers instantly. Essential for database primary keys and distributed systems.

Generate UUIDs instantly. Create random v4 UUIDs, time-based v1/v7 identifiers, and bulk GUIDs for databases. Free online developer tool.

Frequently Asked Questions FAQ

What is the difference between v4 and v7?

v4 is completely random. v7 includes a timestamp, making it 'sortable' by time (database friendly), while still retaining uniqueness. v7 is rapidly becoming the new standard for databases.

Can UUIDs collide?

Theoretically yes, practically no. The probability of a collision in v4 is 1 in 2^122. You would need to generate 1 billion UUIDs per second for 85 years to have a 50% chance of a single collision.

Is this a GUID?

Yes, UUID and GUID are synonymous. GUID is simply Microsoft's implementation of the UUID standard.
