What is a UUID v4?
A UUID v4 is a 128-bit identifier generated from secure randomness. It is useful when you need unique identifiers without a central sequence.

- Pick lowercase or uppercase output and enable braces if your workflow expects wrapped values.
- Click Generate, review the list, then copy one UUID or the entire batch.
Formatting options
Use lowercase or uppercase output and optional braces to match the format expected by your codebase, docs, or import tools.
Helpful tips
- UUID v4 values are random identifiers commonly used in databases, APIs, and test fixtures.
- Changing case or braces reformats the current batch without generating new UUIDs.
- Your settings are stored locally in this browser so you can resume quickly next time.
