How it works
UUID v4 Generator is a web page that does its work on your own device. Everything you type or choose is worked out by your browser and never sent to a server, so nothing is stored and there is nothing to delete. There is no account, no sign-up and no limit on how often you use it.
Version 4 in code
Most languages make v4 UUIDs natively (crypto.randomUUID in JavaScript, uuid4 in Python, Guid.NewGuid in .NET). This page is for the moments you need some by hand: test data, fixtures, config keys, a one-off record.
Questions
Why do all v4 UUIDs have a 4 in the third group?
That digit is the version number, and the first digit of the fourth group is 8, 9, a or b, the variant. The other 122 bits are random.
