UUID Generator

Generate random UUID v4 identifiers online for free, using your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator. Nothing sent to a server.

Your files are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to our servers.

How to use UUID Generator

  1. 1

    Choose how many UUIDs to generate — 1, 5, 10, 50, or 100.

  2. 2

    Click "Generate."

  3. 3

    Copy or download the list.

Common uses

  • Generating unique IDs for test data or database seed records
  • Creating a placeholder ID while prototyping before a real ID system is wired up
  • Generating a batch of unique identifiers for a script or config file

Supported formats and limitations

Accepts text, up to one file at a time.

  • These are version 4 (random) UUIDs — not version 1 (time-based) or version 5 (namespace-based), which encode different information and aren't purely random.
  • Up to 100 UUIDs per generation, comfortably more than most one-off needs.

Frequently asked questions

They're generated using the Web Crypto API (`crypto.randomUUID()`, or a manual fallback built on the same cryptographically secure `crypto.getRandomValues()`), never `Math.random()`.

Version 4 — randomly generated, the most common type for general-purpose unique identifiers.

No. Every UUID is generated entirely in your browser.

A fallback generates a valid v4 UUID by hand from the same secure random source, so the guarantee of unpredictability doesn't depend on that specific function existing.
