What is a UUID and how unique is it really?

A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit ID written as 36 characters, like 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000. Version 4 UUIDs are generated from 122 random bits, letting independent systems create IDs with no coordination and effectively no collision risk.

How unlikely is a collision? You would need to generate about 2.7 quintillion UUIDs to reach even a 50% chance of one duplicate. GUID is Microsoft's name for the same standard — they are interchangeable.

Frequently asked questions

What is a UUID v4?
A UUID v4 is a 128-bit identifier generated from random data, formatted as 36 characters (8-4-4-4-12). The chance of two v4 UUIDs colliding is astronomically small.
Is a GUID the same as a UUID?
Yes — GUID is Microsoft's name for the same standard. Any system expecting a GUID will accept these UUIDs.
How random are the generated UUIDs?
They are generated by crypto.randomUUID(), which uses the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator.
