UUID Generator

UUID stands for Universally Unique Identifier. It's a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems. The probability of generating two identical UUIDs is so astronomically low that for all practical purposes, it's zero.

Why Version 4?

There are several versions of UUIDs. Version 4 (which this tool generates) is completely random. Unlike Version 1 (which includes a timestamp and MAC address), Version 4 reveals no information about the time or machine that generated it, making it safer for privacy.

Use Cases

• Database Primary Keys: Using UUIDs allows you to merge databases without ID conflicts.
• Session IDs: Unique tokens for tracking user sessions.
• Filenames: Ensuring uploaded files don't overwrite each other.
