UUID Generator — v4 (random) and v7 (time-ordered)
Generate cryptographically-random UUIDv4 or sortable UUIDv7 identifiers in bulk.
A UUID is a 128-bit identifier that can be generated independently by different systems with negligible chance of collision. Version 4 is almost entirely random and is the usual default. Version 7 embeds a millisecond timestamp in the high bits, so v7 values sort in creation order — useful as database primary keys because they keep index inserts sequential.
This generator uses the browser's cryptographic random source. Generate a single value or a batch of up to 500, and adjust the formatting to match your target system.

Frequently asked questions
Which version should I use?
Use v4 for general-purpose random IDs. Use v7 when you want IDs that sort by creation time, especially as database keys, to avoid index fragmentation.
Can two generated UUIDs collide?
In practice, no. With 122 random bits in v4 you would need to generate billions per second for many years before a collision became likely.
Are these generated on a server?
No. They are produced in your browser with crypto.getRandomValues, so they never touch the network.
