UUID / GUID Generator FAQ

UUIDs are used as unique identifiers for database records, public IDs, distributed systems, and client-generated keys.

It generates UUID Version 4 (V4), which is random and widely used for general-purpose unique identifiers.

UUID v4 collisions are extremely unlikely. For practical applications, they are considered safe for uniqueness.

Yes. UUIDs are better than sequential IDs for public URLs, but they are not authentication tokens.

If the generator is client-side, it can generate UUIDs offline inside your browser.

If it uses a cryptographically secure random source (like Web Crypto), it is suitable for most applications.
