The browser enforces this: the site’s security policy only lets the page talk to the code libraries’ servers and an anonymous usage counter (tool name, file type, size range). A request carrying your file to anywhere else would be blocked before it left.
Check it yourself: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and run the tool. Or turn off Wi-Fi once the tool has loaded; it keeps working.
How it works
Generate one or up to 1000 UUID v4 IDs at a time, in lowercase, uppercase, no-hyphens, or {braces} format.
Built on crypto.randomUUID, the browser's standard cryptographically-secure UUID v4 generator. Set the quantity (1 to 1000) and pick a format: default (lowercase with hyphens, e.g. 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000), uppercase, no hyphens (550e8400e29b41d4a716446655440000, for compact storage), or {braces} (Windows GUID style, {550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000}). The output is one UUID per line, ready to copy. UUID v4 uses 122 bits of randomness, giving a collision probability so vanishingly small (1 in 2^61 for a billion IDs generated by the same source) that it's safe to use as a primary key across distributed systems without coordination.
How to use it
- Set the quantity. Generate 1 to 1000 UUIDs at once.
- Pick a format. Lowercase with hyphens, UPPERCASE, no hyphens, or {braces} Windows GUID style.
- Generate and copy. One UUID per line, produced by the browser's CSPRNG — safe for keys and tokens.
Frequently asked questions
- What's UUID v4?
- A 128-bit identifier with 122 bits of pure randomness. Version 4 means it's random (not derived from time or namespace). The collision probability is negligible at any practical scale.
- Are they cryptographically secure?
- Yes. crypto.randomUUID uses the browser's CSPRNG. Safe for use as opaque identifiers, session tokens, and primary keys.
- Can I generate UUID v1, v5, or v7?
- Not in this tool. Only v4. v1 (time-based) and v5 (namespace-based) are less commonly used; v7 (time-sortable) isn't widely supported in browsers yet.
- Are the UUIDs uploaded?
- No. Generated locally via the browser's Web Crypto API.
