Common questions and answers about this topic.
A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit label used to uniquely identify information in computer systems without requiring central coordination.
Version 1 (time-based), Version 3 (namespace with MD5), Version 4 (random), and Version 5 (namespace with SHA-1) are all supported.
Yes, the probability of collision is negligibly small. UUID v4, for example, has 2^122 possible values, making duplicates virtually impossible.
No, UUID generation happens entirely in your browser. The identifiers are created locally with JavaScript — no data is sent to any server.
