UUID & ID Generator – Create UUID, GUID, KSUID, NanoID, ULID, CUID
Generate universally unique identifiers (UUID, GUID, KSUID, ULID, NanoID, CUID) instantly in your browser – no uploads, no signups. Choose from nine identifier formats, generate up to 1000 IDs at once, and export as CSV, Excel, JSON, SQL, or XML. Perfect for database keys, API tokens, distributed systems, and testing – all processed locally with cryptographic randomness.
Why use a UUID / unique ID generator?
- Generate database primary keys (UUID, KSUID, ULID) for SQL or NoSQL
- Create API request IDs, session tokens, or correlation IDs
- Produce sortable, time‑ordered identifiers for event sourcing (KSUID, ULID, UUID v7)
- Generate compact, URL‑safe IDs for links or short URLs (NanoID)
- Bulk‑generate test data for development or load testing (up to 1000 IDs)
How to generate unique IDs – 3 simple steps
- Select an ID format – choose from UUID v1/v4/v7, GUID, ULID, NanoID, KSUID, CUID, or CUID2.
- Set the quantity – pick how many IDs you need (1 to 1000).
- Generate and export – click “Generate Unique IDs”, then copy the list or export as CSV, Excel, JSON, SQL, or XML.

Why DataFrog’s ID generator stands out
- All popular formats in one place – no need to switch between different tools for UUID, NanoID, or KSUID.
- Developer‑friendly exports – SQL INSERT statements ready for databases, JSON for APIs, XML for configs.
- Sortable IDs for distributed systems – ULID, KSUID, and UUID v7 keep order over time.
- No signup, no watermarks – completely free and private.
Supported identifier formats
- UUID v1 – timestamp‑based, MAC address derived
- UUID v4 – random, most common for general use
- UUID v7 – time‑ordered, sortable, millisecond precision
- GUID – Microsoft’s 128‑bit identifier (identical to UUID)
- ULID – 26‑character sortable, URL‑safe
- NanoID – compact, URL‑safe, collision‑resistant
- KSUID – K‑sortable, 27 characters, for event ordering
- CUID / CUID2 – collision‑resistant for client‑side generation
Common use cases for unique IDs
- 🗄️ Database primary keys (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.)
- 🔗 Short, URL‑safe IDs for links or referral codes (NanoID)
- 📨 Message queue identifiers or correlation IDs
- 🧪 Load testing – generate thousands of unique test IDs
- ⚙️ Distributed systems – KSUID / ULID for event ordering
Privacy & Security
- 🔒 All ID generation happens locally in your browser using JavaScript
- 🚫 No data is uploaded – your generated IDs never leave your device
- 🕵️ No tracking, no logs, no third‑party scripts
- 💼 Secure for production keys and tokens
Frequently asked questions (UUID / unique ID generator)
What’s the difference between UUID v4 and v7?
UUID v4 is completely random – best for general uniqueness but not sortable. UUID v7 combines a timestamp with random data, making it sortable by creation time – great for databases that need ordered IDs.
Can I generate NanoID with custom length?
This tool generates NanoID with the default length of 21 characters, which offers high collision resistance. For custom lengths, you can modify the generated list manually or use a dedicated library.
Is KSUID better than UUID for event ordering?
KSUIDs are designed for K‑sortable ordering (by time) and are 27 characters long. They are excellent for event‑sourced systems or log aggregation where time order matters. UUID v7 offers similar properties with standard UUID length.
How can I export generated IDs to SQL?
Click the “SQL” export button. The tool will generate a list of INSERT statements (e.g., INSERT INTO ids (id) VALUES ('...');) that you can run directly in your database.
Are the generated IDs truly unique?
Yes. UUID v4 uses 122 random bits, offering a probability of collision so low it’s negligible for practical purposes. ULID, KSUID, and NanoID also use sufficient randomness and timestamp entropy to ensure uniqueness across systems.
Does this tool work offline?
Yes. Once the page loads, all generation scripts are cached. You can disconnect from the internet and still generate unlimited IDs.
