GUID Generator

Generate one or many GUIDs — globally unique identifiers — instantly in your browser. Each is a random RFC 4122 version-4 value, ready to copy.

    How to generate GUIDs

    1. Choose how many GUIDs to generate.
    2. Generate — each is a random v4 GUID.
    3. Copy them to your clipboard.

    About GUIDs

    A GUID (globally unique identifier) is Microsoft’s name for a UUID — a 128-bit value written as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups (8-4-4-4-12). Version-4 GUIDs are randomly generated, so the chance of two ever colliding is vanishingly small, which makes them ideal as database keys, request IDs and .NET / SQL Server identifiers.

    These GUIDs are produced with the browser’s crypto.randomUUID, a cryptographically secure generator, entirely on your device — nothing is sent anywhere. GUID and UUID are the same format; .NET and SQL Server typically use the value as-is.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between a GUID and a UUID?

    None, technically — GUID is Microsoft’s term and UUID is the standards term for the same 128-bit identifier. This tool generates RFC 4122 version-4 values either way.

    Are the GUIDs unique?

    Effectively yes. Version-4 GUIDs are random 122-bit values, so a collision is astronomically unlikely even across billions of them.

    Are they uploaded or logged?

    No. They are generated in your browser with a secure random generator and never leave your device.

    Can I generate GUIDs in bulk?

    Yes — set the count and generate as many as you need at once, then copy them all.
