How it works

A secure, browser-native UUID generator to create RFC4122 version 4 identifiers in bulk.

All calculations and formatting functions are performed directly in your local browser using standard JavaScript runtimes. Your input is not sent to our servers or stored on remote databases. Like the rest of developerOS, this page counts visits with Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics; they see the page you opened, never what you type into the tool. Privacy policy

About the UUID v4 Generator

Generate version 4 UUIDs (random identifiers, RFC 4122) one at a time or in batches of up to 100. Choose plain lines, a JSON array, a comma-separated list or a SQL IN (...) list, and toggle hyphens, uppercase and braces to match the format your system expects.

UUIDs come from the browser's cryptographic random source (crypto.randomUUID, or crypto.getRandomValues when that is unavailable).

How to use it

Choose a batch size from the dropdown: 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100.
Choose the output format and the Hyphens, Uppercase and Braces options.
Press Regenerate for a new batch, then Copy Output.

Worked example

Shape of the output; the identifiers themselves are random on every run.

Input

Quantity 5, format SQL IN (...)

Result

Common mistakes and gotchas

A v4 UUID is random, so it does not sort by creation time. If you need time-ordered keys for a database index, look at a time-ordered scheme instead.
Uniqueness is probabilistic rather than guaranteed, but random collisions are not a practical concern for ordinary application use.
A UUID is an identifier, not a credential. Do not use it as the only protection for something sensitive.
Uppercase and braces change only how the value is written; many systems (and .NET GUID formats) accept both forms, others are case-sensitive, so match your target.

Frequently asked questions

What makes it version 4?

Four bits mark the version as 4 and two bits mark the RFC 4122 variant; the other 122 bits are random. That is why the third group always starts with 4.

Can I generate UUIDs without hyphens?

Yes. Turn the Hyphens option off to get 32 hexadecimal characters.

Are the UUIDs stored or logged?

No. They are created in your browser and exist only on the page.
