• ⊡

  UUID / GUID generator

  Client

  Random UUID v4 values—batch generate, copy, uppercase GUID style, local only.

• ⊡

  UUID v7 generator

  Client

  Time-ordered UUIDs (RFC 9562)—48-bit Unix ms plus randomness; lexicographic sort by mint time, batch copy, local only.

• ⬢

  MongoDB ObjectId

  Client

  Parse 24 hex ids into Unix time, machine, pid, and counter—or generate new 12-byte ObjectIds locally.

• ⊔

  ULID generator

  Client

  Sortable identifiers with millisecond timestamp—batch generate and copy locally.

• ⊟

  Nano ID generator

  Client

  URL-safe Nano IDs—adjust length, batch generate and copy locally.

Common use cases

• Use UUID when you need opaque random 128-bit identifiers in the standard 8-4-4-4-12 hex layout.
• Use ObjectId when you work with MongoDB-style 24 hex BSON ids—parse embedded seconds or mint local placeholders.
• Use ULID when sortability by creation time matters—the first characters encode a millisecond timestamp.
• Use Nano ID when you want short URL-safe strings with adjustable alphabet and length for user-facing tokens.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Confusing uniqueness with secrecy

  These tools generate identifiers; they are not passwords. Use the password or random-string tools for secrets.
