Unique IDs are the everyday glue of software — database keys, request IDs, file names, tracking references. This generator produces three modern kinds: UUID v4, the universal 36-character standard; ULID, which sorts chronologically because its first characters encode the time; and NanoID, a compact 21-character ID safe to put in URLs. Choose a type and how many you need, and copy the batch in one click. IDs are generated with your browser's cryptographic randomness and never leave your device.
How to use it
- Choose the ID type — UUID v4, ULID, or NanoID.
- Set how many you need, up to 100 at once.
- Copy the list — one ID per line, ready to paste into code or a spreadsheet.
Examples
- UUID v4: 9972daab-2c86-459f-9d78-3fe1be4e3280
- ULID: 01HF7YAT00K5SDNASCGS2SZQBR — the first 10 characters encode the time
- NanoID: AgCF_odYEvtIc8guZVuvp — 21 characters, URL-safe
Frequently asked questions
- Are these IDs really unique?
- Statistically, yes. A UUID v4 has 122 random bits — you could generate a billion per second for decades before a collision becomes likely. ULID and NanoID carry similar randomness. They are unique by probability, not by registration, which is exactly how they are used in production systems worldwide.
- When should I use ULID instead of UUID?
- When sort order matters. A ULID's first 10 characters encode its creation time, so sorting ULIDs alphabetically sorts them chronologically — ideal for database keys where insert order should cluster together. UUIDs sort randomly, which can fragment database indexes.
- What is NanoID good for?
- Short, URL-friendly references — share links, public tokens, file names. At 21 characters it is smaller than a UUID with comparable randomness, and its alphabet avoids characters that need escaping in URLs.
- Are the IDs generated on a server?
- No. They come from your browser's built-in cryptographic random generator, on your device. Nothing is transmitted or logged, and no one — including us — has a record of the IDs you generate.
