Guide
Generate a UUID (universally unique identifier) for use as an identifier in software or data. Choose version 4 for a random identifier or version 7 for one that includes creation time, then choose how many you need.
- Choose your settings
Choose v4 for random identifiers or v7 for identifiers containing creation time. Set Results or use Batch of 10.

Version
- v4: a random identifier with no embedded creation time.
- v7: includes creation time and random data; useful when approximate time ordering matters.
- UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) are identifiers, not passwords. v7 exposes its creation time and does not guarantee global ordering.
Results
- Results: generate 1–1,000 identifiers. Choose Generate after changing settings.

Common questions
- Is anything uploaded or saved?
- No. Processing stays in a browser worker. Inputs, filenames and generated results are not stored, uploaded or added to shared links. Copy and Download act only when you choose them.
- What is different about v7?
- Both versions use random data. Version 7 also contains creation time. UUIDs are identifiers, not authentication secrets, and v7 is not a promise of global ordering.
- What are the limits?
- 1–1,000 UUIDs per generation. Output is limited to 2 MB; processing stops after five seconds.
