About UUIDs

UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier that is unique across space and time.

Version 1: Time-based with MAC address. Good for sorting and uniqueness.

Version 4: Randomly generated. Most commonly used and recommended.

Version 5: Name-based using SHA-1 hash. Deterministic and reproducible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between UUID versions?

UUID v1 is time-based and includes MAC address, v4 is randomly generated, and v5 is name-based using SHA-1 hash. V4 is most commonly used for general purposes.

Are UUIDs really unique?

While theoretically possible, the probability of generating duplicate UUIDs is extremely low. With 2^122 possible combinations for v4, you'd need to generate billions per second for billions of years to see a collision.

When should I use UUID v5?

Use UUID v5 when you need deterministic, reproducible UUIDs based on a namespace and name. Useful for generating consistent IDs for the same input data.

Is my data secure?

Yes! All UUID generation happens locally in your browser. No data is sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.
