How to use it
- 01Pick version 4 (random) or version 7 (time-ordered) and how many you need, up to 1,000.
- 02Copy one UUID, copy them all or download them as a text file. Uppercase and Hyphens change the format.
- 03To check a UUID, paste it under Inspect, or choose Inspect on a generated one, to see its version, variant and, for time-based versions, when it was made.

Questions
What's the difference between version 4 and version 7?
A version 4 UUID is random. A version 7 UUID starts with the time it was made (48 bits of Unix milliseconds), so a list of them sorts by creation time, which suits database keys. Anyone who has a version 7 UUID can read when it was made.
Are these UUIDs unique?
Not guaranteed, but a collision is very unlikely. A version 4 UUID has 122 random bits: you'd need about 2.7 billion billion of them for a 50% chance that two match. Version 7 adds 62 random bits to the time, and this tool uses the other 12 bits as a counter, so UUIDs made in the same millisecond still sort in order.
Are they generated on my device?
Yes. They're made in this tab with your browser's cryptographic random number generator. Nothing you generate or paste is sent to our servers or kept after you leave the page.
What are the nil and max UUIDs?
Two special values from RFC 9562: the nil UUID is all zeros and the max UUID is all ones (all f). Systems use them as placeholders, such as "no ID yet" or "any".
