UUID Generator (v7, v4, ULID, NanoID)

Generate UUID v7 (RFC 9562, 2024 time-ordered), v4 random, v1, ULID sortable, and NanoID URL-safe identifiers. Bulk generation up to 10,000 with one click.

How to Use UUID Generator in 3 Steps

Configure. Choose UUID variant: v7 (recommended, time-ordered per RFC 9562), v4 (random), v1 (time+MAC pseudo), or alternatives (ULID, NanoID).
Process. Set quantity (1-10,000). Click Generate — all identifiers are produced cryptographically in your browser using the Web Crypto API.
Export. Copy individual IDs, copy-all to clipboard, or download as a .txt file. Each ID shows its variant/version badge.

Why UUID Generator on Pixlane

Universally unique identifiers (UUIDs) are used for database primary keys, distributed system identifiers, API request IDs, and anywhere globally unique tokens are needed. Pixlane supports the full UUID family including the new UUID v7 specification (RFC 9562, May 2024) — a time-ordered UUID that dramatically improves database index performance versus v4.

UUID v7 Support — Full RFC 9562 (May 2024) UUID v7 implementation — time-ordered UUIDs that sort naturally. Up to 25x faster database inserts versus random v4. Many rivals don't support v7 yet.
Web Crypto Random — All random components use crypto.getRandomValues() — cryptographically secure. No Math.random(), no weak PRNGs.
Modern Alternatives — Beyond UUIDs: ULID (Crockford base32, sortable), NanoID (21 chars, URL-safe). Pick the right tool for your use case.
Bulk + Validate — Generate up to 10,000 IDs at once. Paste any UUID to see its version, timestamp (if v1/v7), variant, and encoded fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UUID v7 and why use it?

UUID v7 is specified in RFC 9562 (May 2024). It encodes a Unix millisecond timestamp in the first 48 bits followed by random bits — making UUIDs naturally sort by creation time. This is hugely important for database indexes: v4 UUIDs cause random B-tree splits (slow inserts, bloated indexes), while v7 UUIDs append sequentially.

UUID v4 vs v7 vs ULID — which should I pick?

v7: use for new projects, especially database primary keys. v4: use for backward compatibility or when you actively want non-sortable IDs. ULID: when you want a shorter, URL-safe, monotonically sortable ID. NanoID: when you need the shortest possible ID with customizable alphabet.

Are UUIDs truly unique?

v4 UUIDs have 122 bits of randomness. v7 UUIDs have 74 random bits plus 48 timestamp bits. Both are unique for all practical purposes — the probability of collision is effectively zero even at cosmic scales.

Is everything generated locally?

Yes. All generation uses the Web Crypto API in your browser. No network calls, no server, no logs. Generated IDs never leave your device unless you explicitly copy them.
