What is UUID v4?
UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) version 4 is a randomly generated 128-bit identifier used to uniquely identify records, sessions, objects, and requests. UUID v4 follows the RFC 4122 format and is widely used in databases, APIs, and distributed systems.
Where UUIDs are used
- Database primary keys
- API request identifiers (request IDs)
- User session IDs
- File naming and storage systems
- Microservices communication
- Logging and event tracking
Frequently Asked Questions
Is UUID v4 truly random?
Yes. This tool uses the browser crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) to generate
cryptographically secure random values.
Can UUIDs collide?
In real-world systems the probability is extremely low and practically negligible, even when generating large
volumes of UUIDs.
Is this generator secure?
Yes. Everything runs client-side in your browser. No UUIDs or input data are sent to a server.
UUID vs GUID — what’s the difference?
GUID is Microsoft’s name for the same type of identifier. In most contexts, GUID and UUID refer to the same
concept and are interchangeable.
