UUID Generator
Generate universally unique identifiers in every version — v1 through v8 — and copy them with a click.

Every version, one click
All eight UUID versions defined by RFC 9562, generated fresh on every click. The v3/v5 pair hashes the same random name, so they change together.
V1
Time-based
Built from the current timestamp, clock sequence, and node ID.
03284100-c783-11f1-8bb2-f743421b6bb1
V2
DCE Security
Like v1, but embeds a local domain and identifier (e.g. POSIX UID).
000003e9-c783-21f1-9000-2b5d9a0b19cd
V3
Name-based (MD5)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with MD5.
bafbb7f0-886f-3f92-9766-b4ca8fa88369
V4
Random
Fully random. The most widely used version.
93bd66b0-0f80-45b6-be03-d07a0fcc4b48
V5
Name-based (SHA-1)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with SHA-1.
4207d15c-feb5-5c65-9038-d2834cd5b968
V6
Reordered time
Field-compatible with v1, reordered so IDs sort by creation time.
1f1c7830-3296-6fda-842b-c757b1b2ee07
V7
Unix timestamp
Unix-epoch timestamp plus randomness. Great for database keys.
01a1388c-7be8-72f4-be56-b6761d4a427c
V8
Custom
Reserved for vendor-specific layouts — filled here with random data.
