UUID generator

Generate UUID v4 identifiers, one at a time or in a batch, from your browser cryptographic generator. A v4 UUID is 128 bits, of which 122 are random, so two generated at the same instant on two machines will not collide. The identifiers are minted on your device with nothing transmitted.

This tool runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier designed to be unique without central coordination: two systems can generate them simultaneously with no realistic risk of collision. Version 4, the most common, is entirely random (122 bits of randomness).

This generator produces v4 UUIDs via crypto.randomUUID, the browser’s cryptographic API — one at a time or in batches of several hundred, copyable with one click for your databases, tests and scripts.

How it works

Enter your data

Type the figures or drop the file you want to process — the tool checks them as you go.

It is processed on your device

Everything is computed directly in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.

Read and export the result

The result appears instantly, with the detailed breakdown ready to copy, download or keep.

Why use this tool

Instant and free

No account, no download, no limit: the result appears as soon as you enter your data.

Built by people who use it

Every rule, algorithm and check reflects what we use ourselves every day at Flexina.

Reliable results

The calculations follow the official standards, and the step-by-step detail lets you double-check the outcome.

What does running it locally bring you?

Your data stays yours

Files, figures and documents never leave your device: nothing is stored, nothing is sent.

It works without a connection

Once the page is loaded, you can cut the network: the tool keeps working.

Fast and private

No upload, no account, no third-party server in between: results stay fast and fully private.

Frequently asked questions

Can two UUIDs be identical?

In theory yes, in practice no: with 122 bits of randomness, you would need to generate billions of UUIDs per second for decades to have a non-negligible probability of collision.

UUID v4 or v7, which to choose?

v4 is random and universally supported. v7, more recent, starts with a timestamp, making it sortable and friendlier to database indexes. For a plain identifier, v4 is perfectly fine.

Is a UUID a secret?

No: it is unpredictable but often exposed (URLs, APIs). Do not use it as an authentication token on its own.
