What is a UUID?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify information in computer systems. The probability of generating two identical UUIDs is so astronomically low that it can be ignored for all practical purposes.

Common Use Cases

Database Records

Unique primary keys that work across distributed systems without conflicts.

File Naming

Generate unique filenames to prevent overwrites during uploads.

Session Tokens

Secure session IDs for user authentication and tracking.

API Keys

Unique tokens for API access and authentication.
