How to use UUID Generator
Generate UUIDs of version 4, 7, 1, 5, or 3 in batches of up to 1,000, or the nil and max values. Format them for code with uppercase, braces, quotes, or commas. A built-in inspector reads the version, variant, and embedded timestamp of any UUID.
- 1
Pick a Version. Version 4 is random; Version 7 is time-ordered and suits database keys.
- 2
Set How many, or for Version 5 and 3 choose a Namespace and enter one name per line in Names.
- 3
Adjust the Format toggles: Uppercase, Hyphens, Braces { }, Wrap in quotes, or Comma after each.
- 4
Click Copy all or .txt to save the list, or click a single UUID to copy it. Generate new makes a fresh batch.
Frequently asked questions
Are the UUIDs truly random?
Version 4 and the random parts of Version 7 come from your browser's cryptographic random number generator, and nothing is generated on a server.
Should I use v4 or v7?
Use v7 for database primary keys: its first 48 bits are a millisecond timestamp, so values sort by creation time and index well. Use v4 when order doesn't matter.
Does Version 1 reveal my MAC address?
No. This page uses a random node ID with the multicast bit set, as RFC 9562 recommends, so the UUID never reveals your hardware.
Why does Version 5 give the same UUID every time?
v5 and v3 are name-based: the same namespace and name always produce the same UUID. That is useful for stable IDs derived from URLs or domain names.
How do I check what version a UUID is?
Paste it into Inspect a UUID. It accepts values with or without hyphens, braces, or urn:uuid: and shows the version, variant, and timestamp where one exists.
