Frequently asked questions
- What is a UUID?
- A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit label used to identify information in computer systems. Version 4 UUIDs are randomly generated, giving a collision probability so low it is effectively zero.
- Are these UUIDs cryptographically secure?
- Yes. The generator uses the Web Crypto API's getRandomValues() for cryptographic randomness.
- What is the difference between UUID v4 and v7?
- UUID v4 is fully random. UUID v7 is time-ordered (monotonically increasing), which makes it better for database primary keys. This tool generates v4.
