This UUID v4 generator uses crypto.randomUUID() in your browser. Generate one or many identifiers, in lowercase or uppercase, with or without hyphens.

Frequently asked questions

What is a UUID v4?

A 36-character identifier such as 123e4567-e89b-42d3-a456-426614174000 where 122 bits are random.

Can two UUIDs collide?

Theoretically yes, practically no: you would need to generate billions per second for decades to have a meaningful collision chance.

UUID vs GUID?

They are the same thing; GUID is the term used by Microsoft.

Is it secure for tokens?

v4 UUIDs are unpredictable, but for session tokens or secrets prefer a dedicated random token generator.
