What is UUID Generator?
UUID Generator is a free online tool for creating RFC 4122 UUIDs you can use as unique IDs across services and systems. It is designed for practical dev workflows: generate one ID or a whole batch with the exact output format you need.
How to use UUID Generator
- Select a UUID version (v4, v1, or v7) based on your use case.
- Choose quantity (up to 100) and output options like hyphens, uppercase, braces, or URN.
- Optional: pick an output format (one per line, comma-separated, or JSON array).
- Click Generate UUIDs, then copy or clear the list.
When to use UUID Generator
- When you need request IDs or correlation IDs for tracing across microservices.
