About UUIDs

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. UUIDs are standardized by the Open Software Foundation (OSF) as part of the Distributed Computing Environment (DCE).

What is a UUID v4?

UUID version 4 is randomly generated. Unlike other UUID versions that use specific data (like MAC address or timestamp), v4 UUIDs are generated using random or pseudo-random numbers. This makes them ideal for situations where uniqueness is the primary requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these UUIDs really unique?

While there's a mathematical possibility of duplicates, the probability is extremely low (about 1 in 2122). For practical purposes, UUID v4 can be considered unique.

Is this tool secure?

Absolutely! All UUID generation happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I generate multiple UUIDs at once?

Yes! Use the count selector to generate up to 100 UUIDs at once. They'll be displayed in a clean, line-by-line format for easy copying.

How many UUIDs can I generate?

There's no limit! Generate as many UUIDs as you need. For bulk generation, use the count selector to generate multiple UUIDs at once.
