UUID Generator

Generate random or time-ordered UUIDs

calendar_today Last updated: September 17, 2026

info

A v4 UUID is 122 random bits. Collisions are not a practical concern; predictability is not either, since these come from the browser’s secure random generator.

Generated

Generated in your browser with crypto.getRandomValues — never sent to a server, so nobody else has seen these.

lightbulb

Sahel's UUID generator produces random v4 and time-ordered v7 identifiers, a batch at a time, and inspects any UUID to show its version and embedded time — all in your browser.

How does this tool work?

1

Choose the version

v4 for random, v7 for time-ordered database keys.

2

Set how many

Generate one or a whole batch.

3

Copy or inspect

Copy them all, or paste any UUID to read its version and time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between v4 and v7? expand_more
v4 is fully random; v7 starts with a timestamp and is random after that. The practical difference is in databases: v7 keys insert in order so the index stays tidy, while v4 keys scatter and fragment it.
Can two UUIDs collide? expand_more
Not in practice. A v4 UUID carries 122 random bits, which makes a collision too unlikely to plan around. What matters is that the source is genuinely random, which is why this tool uses the browser's secure generator.
Can anyone else see the UUIDs I generate here? expand_more
No. They are produced in your browser and never sent to a server.
Is a UUID good enough as a secret token? expand_more
A v4 is random enough for many uses, but a v7 is not, because part of it is a known time. If you need a secret, use a password generator or a purpose-built token instead.
