UUID Generator & Verifier
Generate and verify UUIDs v1, v4, v5, and v7. Create time-based, random, name-based, and sortable UUIDs for databases, APIs, and distributed systems with validation tools.

About UUID Versions
UUID v1: Uses timestamp and MAC address. Good for distributed systems needing time-ordering.
UUID v4: Completely random. Most common choice for general use.
UUID v5: Deterministic based on namespace and name. Same input always produces same UUID.
UUID v7: New standard (2024) with Unix timestamp. Best for databases needing sortable IDs.
About UUID Generator & Verifier
The UUID Generator & Verifier is a comprehensive development tool that creates and validates multiple UUID versions including v1 (timestamp-based), v4 (random), v5 (SHA-1 name-based), and v7 (time-ordered). Generate UUIDs in various formats (standard, uppercase, no-hyphens, braces, URN) and verify any UUID to identify its version. Perfect for distributed systems, database primary keys, and API resource identification with full RFC 4122 and RFC 9562 compliance.
Why use a UUID Generator & Verifier?
Different UUID versions serve different purposes: v1 for time-based ordering, v4 for complete randomness, v5 for deterministic generation from names, and v7 for sortable database keys. This tool provides all major UUID versions with instant validation, multiple output formats, batch generation (up to 100 UUIDs), and download capabilities. The built-in verifier identifies UUID versions and validates format compliance, ensuring your identifiers meet industry standards.
Who is it for?
Essential for software developers needing various UUID types, database architects requiring sortable v7 UUIDs for better indexing performance, and API developers implementing deterministic v5 UUIDs for consistent resource identification. Perfect for DevOps engineers managing distributed systems, full-stack developers handling user authentication, and system architects designing microservices that need guaranteed unique identifiers across multiple services.
How to use the tool
Select UUID version: v1 (timestamp), v4 (random), v5 (name-based), or v7 (sortable)
For v5, enter a name and select a namespace (DNS, URL, OID, X500, or custom UUID)
Choose output format: standard, uppercase, no-hyphens, braces, or URN format
Set the number of UUIDs to generate (1-100) and click Generate
Copy individual UUIDs or all at once, download as text file for batch operations
Use the built-in validator to verify and identify any UUID version
