UUID Generator

What this tool does

Generate one or a hundred version-4 UUIDs on demand using the browser's built-in Web Crypto API — the same cryptographically secure random source used by Node.js and modern browsers, not a pseudo-random fallback. Each identifier follows RFC 4122: 122 bits of randomness plus the version and variant bits, giving collision odds so low they're irrelevant for practically any application. Copy a single value or the whole batch in one click.

How to use

  1. 1
    Set how many you need

    Enter a count from 1 to 100, or leave it at 1 for a single identifier.

  2. 2
    Generate

    Click Generate to produce that many v4 UUIDs using crypto.randomUUID(). Clicking again replaces the list with a fresh batch.

  3. 3
    Copy what you need

    Use Copy next to any row for a single value, or Copy All to put the entire newline-separated list on your clipboard at once.

Use cases

  • Seed test fixtures

    Generate a batch of unique IDs to populate mock database rows or API test payloads without collisions.

  • Create idempotency keys

    Grab a fresh UUID to use as a request idempotency key or client-generated primary key before an insert.

  • Name temporary resources

    Use a UUID as a collision-safe suffix for temp files, feature-flag keys, or ephemeral cloud resource names.

  • Fill in a placeholder ID

    Quickly get a syntactically valid UUID for a config file, mock response, or UI prototype without spinning up a script.

FAQ

How random are these UUIDs?+

They come from crypto.randomUUID(), which is backed by the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random number generator — not Math.random(). Version 4 UUIDs derive 122 random bits, with the remaining 6 bits fixed to mark the version and variant per RFC 4122.

What's the chance of a collision?+

With 122 random bits, you'd need to generate roughly a billion UUIDs per second for about 85 years before there's a 50% chance of a single collision. For essentially every real-world use case, the risk is negligible.

Are these UUIDs sent anywhere or logged?+

No. Generation happens entirely in your browser via the Web Crypto API. Nothing is transmitted to a server or stored beyond your current page session.

Why is the count capped at 100?+

It's a practical limit for a single on-screen batch. If you need more, generate multiple batches — each one is independently random.

Does this generate other UUID versions, like v1 or v7?+

No, this tool only produces v4 (random) UUIDs, which is the version recommended for most applications since it requires no coordination and leaks no timestamp or MAC address information.
