Generate sortable UUID v7 identifiers with millisecond-precision timestamps.

Tool

UUID v7 embeds a millisecond-precision timestamp, making generated IDs sortable in lexicographic order.

What is UUID v7?

UUID v7 (RFC 9562) is the latest UUID specification that embeds a 48-bit Unix timestamp (millisecond precision) in the most-significant bits.

Because the timestamp is placed first, UUID v7 values sort lexicographically in the order they were created. This makes them ideal as database primary keys, reducing B-tree page splits and significantly improving write performance compared to random UUID v4.

How to Use

  1. Click "Generate" to create UUID v7 values.
  2. Set the count to generate multiple UUIDs at once (up to 100).
  3. Copy individual UUIDs with the copy button, or use "Copy All".
  4. The embedded timestamp extracted from each UUID is displayed below it.

FAQ

What is UUID v7?

UUID v7, defined in RFC 9562, is the latest UUID specification. It embeds a 48-bit Unix timestamp (millisecond precision) in the most-significant bits, making generated UUIDs lexicographically sortable by creation time.

How is UUID v7 different from UUID v4?

UUID v4 is entirely random and provides no ordering guarantee. UUID v7 includes a timestamp prefix, so IDs sort in generation order — reducing B-tree index fragmentation in databases and improving insert performance.

How does UUID v7 compare to ULID?

Both are time-sortable unique identifiers. UUID v7 has the advantage of being an RFC-standardized format with broad compatibility across UUID-aware libraries and databases. ULID uses Base32 encoding (26 chars) and is more compact.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All generation happens locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Nothing is transmitted anywhere.
