Random UUID / GUID generator

Generate unique identifiers for databases, APIs, and client-side keys. Searches for “UUID generator” and “GUID generator” usually mean the same v4-style random ID—this tool serves both wordings in one page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these UUIDs cryptographically random?
The tool uses your browser’s randomness APIs suitable for v4 identifiers. For regulated systems, follow your security team’s guidance on ID generation and storage.
UUID vs GUID?
GUID is Microsoft’s term for the same 128-bit identifier format. Our output is standard hex-with-dashes form used in PostgreSQL, MySQL, and most APIs.
