UUID / GUID Generator - Generate unique IDs online for free.

Easily create unique UUIDs or GUIDs with our free online generator. Perfect for developers, software projects and database management where unique identifiers are needed.

The Ultimate UUID / GUID Generator

In software development, database management, and distributed systems, it is often essential to have a unique identification code. Our free online UUID / GUID Generator instantly creates cryptographically secure, random identifiers. UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) and GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) are standards that ensure the generated code is extremely unique, with a virtually negligible chance of duplication. This is an indispensable tool for developers who need unique IDs for objects, transactions, or records.

Why use a UUID / GUID?

  • Uniqueness: The probability of two generated UUIDs being the same is astronomically small.
  • Distributed Generation: UUIDs can be generated independently of a central authority, which makes them perfect for distributed systems.
  • Security: Because the identifiers are unpredictable, they cannot be easily guessed or constructed.

How to use our UUID / GUID Generator?

Our tool is designed to be extremely user-friendly. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Choose a version: Select the desired UUID version (e.g., V4 for a random UUID).
  2. Generate the IDs: Click the "Generate" button. You can generate multiple UUIDs at once.
  3. Copy the results: The generated IDs can be copied directly for use in your code, database, or project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here we answer some frequently asked questions:

What is the difference between UUID and GUID?

UUID is the general term used by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), while GUID is the term primarily used by Microsoft. In practice, they refer to the same concept.

What are the different UUID versions?

V1 is time- and MAC-based. V4 is completely random and is the most commonly used, and V5 is based on a namespace and a name.

Fun Facts about Unique Identifiers

  • The total number of possible UUIDs is 2^128, which is equivalent to about 3.4 x 10^38. That's more IDs than there are grains of sand on Earth.
  • UUIDs are used in databases to create unique keys without needing a central database that assigns auto-incrementing numbers.
