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.
c94abcc2-9f5c-11f1-a816-9dbbd8043ca7
V2
DCE Security
Like v1, but embeds a local domain and identifier (e.g. POSIX UID).
000003e9-9f5c-21f1-bd00-370b0a5db386
V3
Name-based (MD5)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with MD5.
8be904a5-535b-36b7-9265-c88c8a16da22
V4
Random
Fully random. The most widely used version.
d4547f88-05f4-474d-a7c0-4a217bfebe10
V5
Name-based (SHA-1)
Deterministic — hashes a namespace and name with SHA-1.
9dece4e8-e0ff-5e62-8980-b0801c1f82cb
V6
Reordered time
Field-compatible with v1, reordered so IDs sort by creation time.
1f19f5cc-9525-67fc-b356-e36b6eb95b1b
V7
Unix timestamp
Unix-epoch timestamp plus randomness. Great for database keys.
01a0316d-1a3e-7357-8c2d-8f5b63b9c022
V8
Custom
Reserved for vendor-specific layouts — filled here with random data.
