How It Works
Using the UUID Generator takes only a few steps. Click Generate to create a new UUID v4. Set quantity in Advanced Options for bulk generation. Choose uppercase or lowercase formatting. Copy individual UUIDs or all at once. The tool updates results in real time as you adjust inputs, so you can experiment quickly without reloading the page.
Under the hood, UUID v4: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx where y ∈ {8,9,a,b} and other digits are random hex from crypto.getRandomValues(). Ranburg implements this logic with modern browser APIs and tested algorithms so results are consistent across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. Advanced options are available when you need finer control over formatting, encoding, or calculation parameters.
For developer tools workflows, the UUID Generator integrates naturally with other Ranburg utilities in the Developer Tools category. Copy output with one click, paste into your CMS, IDE, spreadsheet, or Salesforce org, and continue your work.
