What is the UUID Generator?

The free UUID Generator produces one or more version 4 (random) UUIDs instantly. Choose how many to generate using the count field (up to 100 at once), then pick an output format: Standard (lowercase with hyphens), Uppercase, Upper, no dashes, Braces ({uuid}), or URN. Each UUID can be copied individually or all at once.

  • Generate unique identifiers for database primary keys or foreign keys.
  • Create request correlation IDs for distributed system tracing.
  • Produce unique filenames for uploaded assets to avoid collisions.
  • Generate test data with realistic UUIDs for unit and integration tests.
  • Create session tokens or idempotency keys for API requests.

How to Use the UUID Generator

  1. 1 Set the count field to how many UUIDs you need (default: 5).
  2. 2 Choose an output format from the dropdown: Standard, Uppercase, Upper, no dashes, Braces, or URN.
  3. 3 Click Generate to produce fresh UUIDs.
  4. 4 Click the copy icon next to any individual UUID, or use Copy All to grab the entire list.

The UUID Generator is a free online tool that lets you generate random UUID v4 identifiers instantly. It runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing is uploaded to a server.
Is the UUID Generator free?
Yes — the UUID Generator is completely free, with no account, subscription, signup, or usage limits.
Is my data uploaded or stored?
No. The UUID Generator processes everything locally in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, saved, or shared with any server.

Yes. Once the page has finished loading, the UUID Generator works without an internet connection.
Which browsers does the UUID Generator work in?

How unique is a UUID v4?
Extremely unique. There are 2^122 possible v4 UUIDs (~5.3 × 10^36). The probability of generating the same UUID twice is astronomically small.
What is the difference between UUID and GUID?
They are the same thing. UUID is the IETF standard term (RFC 4122); GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) is Microsoft's terminology for the same concept.
Can I use the free UUID Generator for production identifiers?
Yes — the generator uses the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator, making it suitable for production use.
