About UUID/ULID Generator

Generate UUID v4, ULID, and NanoID identifiers. UUIDs are universally unique identifiers, ULIDs are sortable unique identifiers, and NanoIDs are compact URL-friendly IDs. All generated using cryptographically secure random number generators.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between UUID, ULID, and NanoID?

UUID v4 is the standard 128-bit random ID (36 chars). ULID is lexicographically sortable and includes a timestamp (26 chars). NanoID is compact and URL-safe (customizable length, default 21 chars).

Are these IDs truly unique?

Yes, they use cryptographically secure random number generators. The probability of collision for UUID v4 is approximately 1 in 2^122.

Which should I use?

Use UUID v4 for standard compatibility, ULID when you need sortability by creation time, and NanoID when you need shorter, URL-safe IDs.
