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.
1748ba30-c7a0-11f1-ba99-f1cc080bfae4
V2
DCE Security
Like v1, but embeds a local domain and identifier (e.g. POSIX UID).
000003e9-c7a0-21f1-9000-3d240d8e67e2
V3
Name-based (MD5)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with MD5.
419787b1-58e9-33b7-88aa-c3a2fdb73907
V4
Random
Fully random. The most widely used version.
b44cde9a-8b55-4bbc-8c9f-479100496ef1
V5
Name-based (SHA-1)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with SHA-1.
3e5ce66d-c082-5c61-9528-2c4665fe4f38
V6
Reordered time
Field-compatible with v1, reordered so IDs sort by creation time.
1f1c7a01-749e-6644-aed1-5971b7064571
V7
Unix timestamp
Unix-epoch timestamp plus randomness. Great for database keys.
01a1394b-0dbd-721c-9ff2-dfa552eb52ef
V8
Custom
Reserved for vendor-specific layouts — filled here with random data.
