UUID v4 Generator
Generate standards-based UUID v4 identifiers locally.
Guided walkthrough
Guided walkthrough
Create random UUID identifiers.
- Choose 1 to 100 UUIDs.
- Only when ready, use the tool’s generate button to create fresh, unpredictable values. Check the chosen options and keep any real secret private.
Illustrative example
Choose 2. Expect two UUID v4 identifiers on separate lines, with hexadecimal groups of 8-4-4-4-12 characters.
How to read the result
A UUID is a non-secret identifier, not a password or authentication token. Random generation makes collisions unlikely, but does not replace database uniqueness checks.
This is a static educational walkthrough. It does not fill fields, generate values, inspect your browser, or read storage. Use fictitious, non-secret data for practice. Never share passwords, keys, tokens, or cookie values. These explanations are not a security audit or certification.

Quick answer
Generate UUID version 4 identifiers in the browser for records, test data, and other objects that need an identifier.
The page and its assets load from the site; this operation uses your entered values only in this browser and does not send them to a calculation endpoint.
How to use it
Generate one or more UUID version 4 identifiers with the browser crypto API. UUIDs identify objects; they are not passwords or access tokens.
Limits
UUIDs are identifiers, not credentials. Do not use them as a substitute for a secret access token.
Frequently asked questions
What does UUID version 4 mean?
It is a UUID format whose value is generated using random or pseudorandom bits with version and variant bits set as defined by RFC 9562.
Can I use a UUID as a password or secret key?
No. UUIDs are identifiers and are not designed as a replacement for credentials or access tokens.
Can two UUIDs ever match?
A collision is possible in principle, even though a correctly generated UUID v4 is intended to make collisions very unlikely.
