UUID notes
Version 4UUID v4 uses random bits. The version nibble is 4 and the RFC 4122 variant bits are set in the third group.
Not sequentialThese identifiers are not sortable by creation time. Use timestamp-based IDs if order matters.
Collision riskRandom v4 UUIDs have an extremely large 122-bit random space, making collisions impractical for normal use.
PrivacyThe generator runs locally. Generated UUIDs and pasted validator input are not uploaded.
FAQ
Are these UUIDs cryptographically random?
The tool uses crypto.randomUUID() when available and falls back to crypto.getRandomValues(), both provided by the browser Web Crypto API.
Can I generate UUIDs in bulk?
Yes. Set the quantity from 1 to 1000 and choose newline, comma, space, or JSON array output.
How do I validate a UUID?
Paste the identifier into the validator. It accepts standard, compact, braces, and URN forms and reports the UUID version and variant.
