UUID / ULID Generator
This tool generates universally unique identifiers using standard UUID and ULID algorithms.
Waiting for action.
About the types
- UUID v4: Standard 128-bit random ID, generated by
crypto.randomUUID(). Formatted asxxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. - ULID: Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier. 26-character Base32 Crockford encoded string, starts with a timestamp, allowing for sortable and more entropy-rich IDs.
- UUID v7: (experimental) Timestamp-based, sortable universally unique identifier. Does not strictly follow the official RFC but provides a modern, time-ordered format.
How it works
Identifiers are generated using cryptographically secure random values provided by the browser.
Common use cases
Commonly used for database keys, object identifiers, and distributed systems.
Limitations
Generated IDs are random and do not carry semantic meaning.
