What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), also known as GUID (Globally Unique Identifier), is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. UUIDs are generated in such a way that they are practically guaranteed to be unique across space and time.

UUID Format

A UUID is typically displayed as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups separated by hyphens:

550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

Why Use UUIDs?

  • Database Primary Keys: Create unique IDs without database coordination
  • Distributed Systems: Generate IDs across multiple systems without conflicts
  • Session Identifiers: Track user sessions securely
  • API Keys: Generate unique tokens for authentication
  • File Names: Create unique temporary file names
  • Message IDs: Track messages in queuing systems

UUID Version 4

This tool generates UUID version 4, which is based on random numbers. Version 4 UUIDs have 122 random bits, providing an extremely low collision probability. The chance of generating duplicate UUIDs is negligibly small even when generating billions of identifiers.
