What Is a UUID?
A UUID is a 128-bit identifier like 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000 — practically guaranteed unique without a central registry. Version 4 UUIDs are randomly generated, making them ideal for database primary keys, session tokens, file names and distributed systems where auto-increment IDs would collide.
Frequently Asked Questions
UUID v4 vs v1 — what is the difference?
v4 is fully random; v1 embeds a timestamp and MAC address. v4 is preferred for privacy and simplicity — this tool generates v4.
Can two UUIDs be identical?
Theoretically yes, practically never — with 2122 possible v4 values, collisions are astronomically unlikely.
Are generated UUIDs truly random?
They use your browser's Math.random-based generation, fine for IDs and non-security uses. For cryptographic tokens, use your platform's secure random API.
