UUID Generator
Generate random v4 UUIDs / GUIDs instantly, locally in your browser.
Generate one or many random version-4 UUIDs (also called GUIDs) instantly, using the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator. Common for assigning unique identifiers to database records, API keys, or session tokens during development. Generate them one at a time or in bulk, and copy the list straight into your code or seed data - nothing is sent to a server.
Runs on your device. This tool processes your file inside this browser tab. Nothing is uploaded, so it also works offline once the page has loaded, and closing the tab discards the file from memory.

Common questions
What's the difference between UUID and GUID?
They're effectively the same concept - GUID is Microsoft's term for the same 128-bit identifier format as UUID.
How likely is a collision?
Version-4 UUIDs have 122 random bits, making accidental collisions astronomically unlikely even across billions of generated IDs.
Can I generate multiple UUIDs at once?
Yes - set a quantity and get a full list generated in one click.
Is generation done locally?
Yes - UUIDs are generated entirely in your browser.
Use this from your code
This tool is also a REST endpoint, so you can run it in a pipeline instead of by hand. It is free and needs no API key. See the API reference for every parameter.
