UUID Generator

Generate universally unique identifiers (UUIDs). Supports version 4 (random) and version 7 (time-ordered, sortable). Generate single or bulk UUIDs for database primary keys, distributed systems, or any context where you need globally unique identifiers without coordination.

Count Optional

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between UUID v4 and v7?

UUID v4 is fully random. UUID v7 embeds a timestamp in the first 48 bits, making them naturally sortable by creation time. v7 is better for database primary keys because sorted inserts are much faster for B-tree indexes.

Can two UUIDs ever collide?

In theory, yes. In practice, effectively never. A v4 UUID has 122 random bits, giving 5.3 x 10^36 possible values. You'd need to generate about a billion UUIDs per second for 85 years to have a 50% chance of a single collision.

Enter text or a URL to generate a QR code. Customize the size, color, background, margin, and output format (SVG or PNG). The generated QR code can be downloaded and used in print materials, websites, or apps. No watermarks, no limits on use.

Secure Password Generator

Generate strong, random passwords with configurable options. Set the length, choose which character types to include (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and exclude specific characters. Passwords are generated using a cryptographically secure random number generator.

URL Shortener

Paste a long URL to create a short, shareable link. The shortened URL redirects to the original with a 302 redirect. Optionally set an expiration time after which the short link stops working. Useful for social media posts, marketing campaigns, or cleaning up long URLs.

Lorem Ipsum Generator

Generate placeholder text in words, sentences, or paragraphs. Lorem ipsum is standard filler text used in design mockups, prototypes, and layout testing. The generated text mimics natural language patterns without being distracting readable content.
