What is a UUID?

UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier. It is a 128-bit identifier commonly used to uniquely identify objects, records, resources, transactions and other entities in software systems.

A UUID is normally represented as a hexadecimal string divided into five groups, such as:

550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

UUIDs are widely used in databases, APIs, distributed systems, cloud applications and other environments where unique identifiers are required.

What is UUID v4?

UUID version 4 is a randomly generated UUID. Unlike versions that are derived from timestamps or other information, UUID v4 primarily relies on randomly generated values.

UUID v4 format

A UUID v4 follows this general structure:

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

The 4 identifies the UUID as version 4. The y position contains a value that identifies the UUID variant.

Common uses of UUIDs

  • Database record identifiers
  • API resource identifiers
  • Distributed systems
  • Microservices
  • Cloud applications
  • Transaction identifiers
  • Request and correlation IDs
  • Temporary identifiers

How to use the UUID Generator

  1. Select the UUID version.
  2. Choose how many UUIDs you want to generate.
  3. Click Generate UUID.
  4. The generated UUIDs will appear in the result area.
  5. Use Copy All to copy the generated values.

Are UUIDs really unique?

UUIDs are designed to make collisions extremely unlikely. However, UUIDs should technically be considered practically unique, rather than mathematically guaranteed to be unique.

UUID version 4 provides a very large space of possible values, making accidental collisions extraordinarily unlikely when properly generated.

Privacy

UUIDs generated by this tool are created directly in your browser using JavaScript.

No server-side request is required to generate the UUIDs. The values are not sent to a remote server by this tool.
