About the UUID Generator

Create RFC 4122 compliant UUIDs in your browser. Generate random v4 IDs or name-based v5 IDs derived from a namespace and name. Output can be uppercase and without hyphens for systems that prefer compact tokens.

How to use

  • Select the version (v4 for random IDs; v5 for deterministic, name-based IDs).
  • Set how many IDs you need and adjust formatting options.
  • For v5, enter a name and pick a predefined namespace (DNS/URL/OID/X.500) or paste a custom namespace UUID.
  • Click Generate, then copy the results.

Notes

  • v4 uses cryptographic randomness available in modern browsers.
  • v5 is deterministic: the same namespace + name always produces the same UUID.
  • Standard namespaces: DNS, URL, OID, and X.500 (per RFC 4122).

Examples

v5 with DNS namespace and name example.com yields a stable ID you can reproduce across systems. v4 is best when you just need unique random identifiers with no input.
