Frequently Asked Questions

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), also called GUID, is a 128-bit value used to uniquely identify resources. It is usually written as 32 hexadecimal digits in the form 8-4-4-4-12, e.g. 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000.

Use v4 (random) for almost all general purposes – database keys, request IDs, session tokens. Use v7 (timestamp + random) when you need values that sort by creation time and play well with database indexes. Use v1 only if you need MAC-address-based identifiers.

For all practical purposes, yes. UUIDv4 has 122 bits of randomness (about 5.3 × 10³⁶ possible values), making collisions astronomically unlikely. You would need to generate billions of UUIDs per second for many years to risk a collision.

Yes. All UUIDs are generated client-side using the browser's cryptographically-secure random number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues). Nothing is sent to our servers.
