How likely is a UUID collision?

For Version 4 UUIDs, the probability of a collision is astronomically small — effectively negligible for any practical application.

What is the difference between a UUID and a GUID?

They are functionally the same concept; GUID is Microsoft's term, traditionally formatted with braces and uppercase — see the dedicated GUID Generator tool.

Is my generated UUID sent anywhere?

No — it is generated and displayed entirely in your browser.

Can I generate more than 100 UUIDs at once?

The tool is capped at 100 per generation — run it again for more.

Are these UUIDs suitable for security tokens?

Version 4 UUIDs use a cryptographically secure random source, making them reasonable for many token uses, though dedicated token-generation schemes may be preferable for high-security contexts.

Do UUIDs need to be globally registered?

No — that is the point of a UUID: it can be generated independently, anywhere, without registering it with any authority.

What Is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit value, typically written as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups (like 3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301), designed so that generating one independently, anywhere, is astronomically unlikely to collide with any other UUID ever generated.

Version 4 UUIDs — the kind this tool generates — are built from random bits, making them the simplest and most common way to create unique identifiers for database records, API resources, session tokens and file names without needing a central authority to hand them out.

Astuces

Use as Primary Keys Carefully

UUIDs make great unique identifiers, though they take more storage than sequential integers.

Remove Hyphens for Compact Storage

Disable hyphens if a system expects a 32-character hex string without separators.
