How to use UUID Generator

Generate random UUID v4 identifiers for databases, APIs, test data and development workflows.

Common uses

  • Create database IDs
  • Generate API request IDs
  • Make test data
  • Create unique file names

Good practice

UUID v4 is suitable for many identifiers but is not automatically an authorization secret. Apply database constraints if uniqueness is required by the application.

Data handling

Generated identifiers contain random data rather than submitted personal content, but avoid treating a public UUID as proof of identity or permission.
