UUID Generator

Generate unique identifiers for databases, APIs and test data. Choose UUID v4, UUID v1, sortable ULIDs or short Nano IDs, produce up to a thousand at once, and validate existing IDs.

    FAQ

    Yes. UUID v4, ULID and Nano ID all use your browser's crypto.getRandomValues, the same source used for security keys.

    v4 is entirely random, while v1 embeds a timestamp and is therefore roughly time-ordered but slightly less private.

    When you want a unique ID that also sorts chronologically, which keeps database indexes efficient.

    Nano IDs are much shorter than UUIDs while keeping a very low collision risk, making them ideal for URLs and short links.

    No. They exist only in your browser tab until you copy them.

    About this tool: UUID Generator

    Unique identifiers, generated locally

    The UUID Generator creates RFC 4122-compliant UUID v4 identifiers — 128-bit values whose randomness makes collisions practically impossible — in any quantity, one click at a time or in bulk lists. Each identifier is generated by your browser's cryptographic random number generator, never fetched from a server.

    Unique IDs are the plumbing of software: database primary keys, request tracing headers, file names, idempotency keys, test fixtures. Hand-rolling “unique” identifiers invites collisions; a proper v4 UUID gives you 122 bits of entropy, meaning you could generate billions per second for a century without repeating one.

    Generation is instant and offline-capable — generate a list of a thousand UUIDs for test data, or a single one for a config value. Uppercase/lowercase and brace-wrapped formatting options match whatever your platform expects, and nothing you generate is ever logged.

    Like every Piclizer tool, this one runs entirely in your browser — your files stay on your device.
