How to use this UUID tool
Generate mode uses the browser crypto.getRandomValues API for cryptographically secure random bytes. Choose UUID v4 or RFC 9562 UUID v7, the quantity, case, and output format. Inspect mode parses the UUID version and variant; v7 values also expose their Unix millisecond timestamp.
Randomness and ordering
Random fields in UUID v4 and v7 come from the browser cryptographic random source, never Math.random. UUID v7 stores Unix milliseconds in its first 48 bits; the remaining fields are independently random, so values generated in the same millisecond are not globally monotonic. Sort by timestamp and the complete UUID explicitly when ordering is required.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between UUID v4 and v7?
v4 focuses on a random unique identifier. v7 places Unix milliseconds in the high bits, which is useful for database indexes and creation-time ordering. Both use secure random fields.
What are variant and version?
The version identifies the UUID layout, such as 4 or 7. The variant identifies the standards family used to interpret those bits. This tool recognizes the RFC 9562 variant and also displays other reserved variants.
Is my input uploaded?
No. Generation, parsing, copying, and downloading happen in the browser, and your input is not sent to the application server.
