About UUIDs

What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is guaranteed to be unique across all systems and time. UUIDs are commonly used in software development for database primary keys, session identifiers, and distributed systems.

Our generator creates UUID v4, which uses random or pseudo-random numbers to ensure uniqueness with extremely low probability of collision.

UUID Format

UUIDs are typically displayed as 32 hexadecimal digits in groups separated by hyphens:

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx

The "4" indicates version 4, and "y" is one of 8, 9, A, or B.

Common Use Cases

Database Keys

Primary keys for database tables that need to be unique across different systems.

Session IDs

Secure session identifiers for web applications and API authentication.

Distributed Systems

Unique identifiers that work across multiple servers and applications.
