RFC 4122 v4 UUIDs

Sample output — your files never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between UUID v4 and other versions?

v4 UUIDs are purely random — 122 bits of randomness — which is what nearly every application needs. Other versions derive from timestamps (v1, v7) or name hashing (v3, v5). This generator produces v4, the safe general-purpose choice.

Are the UUIDs truly unique?

Effectively, yes — a v4 UUID has about 5.3×10³⁶ possible values, and they're generated with the browser's cryptographic RNG. The odds of a collision are astronomically low; that's the whole point of the format.

Can I generate UUIDs in bulk?

Yes — set the count up to 100 and generate; the whole list appears and copies to your clipboard in one click.

Is a UUID the same as a GUID?

Functionally yes — GUID is Microsoft's name for the same 128-bit identifier format. A UUID from this generator works anywhere a GUID is expected.

Is UUID Generator free to use?

Yes. UUID Generator is completely free on GenRise, with no limits, watermarks, or hidden paywalls.

Do I need to create an account or sign up?

No. Every GenRise tool works instantly in your browser — no account, email, or sign-up required.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. UUID Generator runs entirely on-device using your browser, so your files are never uploaded or stored anywhere. All processing happens locally.

How does UUID Generator work?

UUID Generator uses your browser's built-in capabilities — Canvas, WebAssembly, and File APIs — to process files locally. Generate random UUIDs (v4) in bulk, instantly. Simply open the tool, select your file, and the result is generated instantly on your device.

Is UUID Generator safe and private?

Yes. Since UUID Generator processes everything in your browser, your files never leave your device. There is no server-side storage, no tracking of file contents, and no data collection.

Can I use UUID Generator on mobile?

Yes. UUID Generator works on any modern browser, including mobile devices. It is fully responsive and optimized for both desktop and mobile use.

About UUID Generator

GenRise UUID Generator produces random version-4 UUIDs using the browser's cryptographic RNG via crypto.randomUUID() — the same API your backend would call. Generate one or a batch of up to 100 at once, copy any single UUID or the whole list with one click. Because generation is local, it's instant, works offline, and produces IDs that were never visible to any server.

Key features

  • Cryptographically random UUID v4 via crypto.randomUUID()
  • Generate up to 100 UUIDs in one click
  • Copy a single UUID or the entire list at once
  • Standard 36-character format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
  • Instant, offline-capable generation
  • Free with no sign-up or rate limits

  2. 2Add your input — a file, text, or settings. Everything is processed in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
  3. 3Adjust any options if needed. Generate random UUIDs (v4) in bulk, instantly.
  4. 4Copy or download your result instantly. It is generated locally on your device.

Common use cases

  • Generating primary keys for database seeding
  • Creating unique IDs for objects, sessions or filenames
  • Producing test data for development and QA
  • Naming uploads or resources with collision-safe IDs
  • Bulk-generating identifiers for fixtures and mocks
