About these ID Tools tools
ID tools generate UUID v4 and v7, validate UUID layout and version, and mint NanoID and ULID values. Use them when you need unique keys in fixtures, docs, or a prototype. Do not use a website generator as the only source of IDs in a high-security lottery or crypto protocol; use your language's CSPRNG APIs in production code.
UUID v4 is random. UUID v7 is time-ordered, which is kinder to B-tree indexes. NanoID is shorter and URL-safe. ULID is sortable and encodes a timestamp.
Tools in this category
UUID Generator
v4 is random. v7 is time-ordered.
UUID Validator
Check whether a UUID is valid, detect its version (v1–v7), and see why one fails.
NanoID Generator
Generate compact, URL-safe NanoIDs with a custom length and alphabet.
ULID Generator
Generate sortable ULIDs with a timestamp component, and see how sorting works.
How these tools run in your browser
Generation uses crypto.getRandomValues in the browser. Validators check canonical hex form, variant bits, and version nibble. Bulk generate loops in JS; thousands are fine, millions may hitch the UI.
Common Use Cases
- Fill a test database with unique primary keys
- Check whether a value is a UUID and which version
- Generate compact public IDs for a demo API
- Show how ULID sorts compared to UUID v4
Common Mistakes
Frequently Asked Questions
v7 (or ULID) if you care about index locality. v4 if you already standardized on random UUIDs. This is a database design choice, not a moral one.
v4 and v7 follow the current UUID spec layout. We are not a conformance test suite for every version.
They are unique identifiers, not memorable secrets, and a web page is the wrong place to mint production credentials. Use your app's password hasher and a proper secret generator in code.
