Perguntas frequentes

Is my data safe?
Yes. All processing happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device and is never uploaded to any server.
What is a UUID v4?
UUID v4 is a 128-bit identifier generated entirely from random numbers. The format is xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx — 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups. The '4' indicates version 4 (random), and the y digit is constrained to 8, 9, a, or b to indicate the variant.
Will UUIDs ever collide?
In practice, no. The probability of generating a duplicate UUID v4 is approximately 1 in 2^122. You would need to generate roughly 2.71 quintillion UUIDs before having a 50% chance of a single collision. For any realistic usage volume, collisions are not a concern.
What is the difference between generate/uuid and dev/uuid?
Both tools generate the same standard UUID v4 format with the same cryptographic quality. The generate/uuid page is presented for general users who need a quick UUID. The dev/uuid page is in the developer section and emphasizes bulk generation, API integration context, and technical details about the generation process.
Can I use this UUID as a password or security token?
A UUID v4 has 122 bits of randomness, which is cryptographically strong. However, UUIDs are not designed for use as secrets — they follow a recognizable format that reduces their effective entropy slightly and makes them easier to guess than a fully random 128-bit token. For security tokens, use a purpose-built random token generator.

O que é UUID Generator?

Generate cryptographically random UUID v4 identifiers instantly for any use case. Create a single UUID to paste into a form or system, or generate multiple UUIDs at once for batch use. Powered by the browser's Web Crypto API for true cryptographic randomness. UUIDs are used everywhere — as record IDs, file names, tracking codes, and unique tokens. No software to install, no account to create, no usage limits. Generated entirely in your browser.

Por que usar UUID Generator?

  • Cryptographically secure — uses crypto.randomUUID() or crypto.getRandomValues(), not weak pseudo-random generators.
  • Bulk generation — create one or many UUIDs at once, ready to copy as a list.
  • No accounts or limits — generate as many UUIDs as you want without signing up.
  • Instantly copyable — one-click copy for a single UUID or all generated UUIDs at once.
  • Completely private — nothing is logged or sent to any server.

Casos de uso de UUID Generator

Quick record IDs

Need a unique ID for a spreadsheet row, document, or quick prototype? Generate a UUID and paste it in seconds without writing any code.

File naming

Name files with UUIDs to guarantee uniqueness without coordination — useful for uploads, exports, and generated reports.

Form and system fields

Some systems require a UUID in a specific field. Generate one here and paste it directly into the form or configuration.

Testing and QA

Generate batches of UUIDs for populating test data, mock IDs, or seeding a development database without writing a script.

Dicas e boas práticas

  • 💡A UUID always follows the format xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx — 32 hexadecimal digits grouped in five sections separated by hyphens.
  • 💡UUIDs are case-insensitive — systems that require uppercase (some Microsoft tools) and lowercase (most web systems) treat the same UUID identically.
  • 💡If you need UUIDs for a production application, generate them in your application code rather than copying from a website. This tool is best for one-off and testing needs.
  • 💡For database primary keys at scale, consider UUID v7 (time-ordered), which avoids index fragmentation that random UUIDs can cause in B-tree indexes.

Como se compara

Most operating systems include UUID generators: uuidgen on Linux/Mac, and PowerShell's [Guid]::NewGuid() on Windows. Online UUID generators are useful when you do not have terminal access or need to generate UUIDs quickly from a browser tab. For developers who need UUIDs in application code, use your language's built-in library (Python's uuid module, Node.js's crypto.randomUUID, Java's UUID.randomUUID). This tool is best for quick, no-code UUID generation.
