QR & Utility

UUID Generator

Generate v4 UUIDs in bulk — perfect for database IDs.

What this tool does

A UUID (universally unique identifier) is a 128-bit value that's practically guaranteed to be unique. Developers use them as primary keys, session IDs, file names, and more. This tool generates RFC 4122 v4 UUIDs — the most common kind — one at a time or in batches.

Why it matters

UUID Generator saves you time and removes guesswork from everyday qr & utility work. RFC 4122 v4 compliant — and because everything runs in your browser, your data stays private and results are instant.

  • RFC 4122 v4 compliant
  • Bulk generation
  • No collisions — chance is astronomically low

How to use

  1. Pick how many UUIDs you need.
  2. Click Generate.
  3. Copy individual UUIDs or download as a text file.

Real-world use cases

  • Database primary keys
  • Distributed systems
  • Session tokens

Tips & best practices

  • v4 UUIDs are random; v7 are time-ordered (better for DB indexes)
  • Never use sequential IDs for public URLs
  • UUIDs are 36 characters with hyphens

Frequently asked questions

Are UUIDs really unique?

Collision probability is so low it's considered effectively zero in practice.

Should I use v4 or v7?

v4 for general use; v7 if you want time-sortable IDs.

Can I shorten a UUID?

Yes, with base62 encoding — but you lose some entropy in the process.
