UUID Generator

Generate cryptographically random version 4 UUIDs in bulk.

Version 4 UUIDs generated with your browser's cryptographic random source. Click any line below to copy it on its own.

Quick Tool Overview

The UUID Generator produces version 4 UUIDs — 128-bit identifiers written as 32 hexadecimal digits in five hyphen-separated groups. The randomness comes from the browser's cryptographic random number generator, so the output is suitable for real identifiers rather than throwaway test data.

About the UUID Generator

A UUID is a 128-bit identifier written as 32 hexadecimal digits in five hyphen-separated groups. Version 4 UUIDs are almost entirely random, which means two systems can mint identifiers independently without coordinating and still never collide in practice.

The randomness here comes from the browser's cryptographic random number generator, not from Math.random, so the output is suitable for real identifiers rather than throwaway test data. Generate up to a thousand at a time, switch to uppercase, or strip the hyphens for systems that store UUIDs as a plain 32-character string.

Key features of the UUID Generator

Cryptographic randomness

Values come from the browser's secure random source, not Math.random, so they are safe to use as real identifiers.

Bulk generation

Produce up to a thousand at a time instead of refreshing a page for each one.

Uppercase option

Match systems and databases that store UUIDs in uppercase.

Hyphens optional

Strip the hyphens for systems that keep UUIDs as a plain 32-character string.

No collisions in practice

Version 4 UUIDs are random enough that independent systems can mint them without coordinating.

How to use the UUID Generator

  1. 1

    Set how many you need

    Enter a quantity from 1 to 1000.

  2. 2

    Pick a format

    Choose uppercase or lowercase, and whether to include the hyphens.

  3. 3

    Generate and copy

    Click generate, then copy the whole list or download it as a text file.

Frequently asked questions

In theory yes, in practice no. A version 4 UUID has 122 random bits. You would need to generate around a billion UUIDs per second for roughly 85 years to reach a 50 percent chance of a single collision.
