Tips

  • Version 4 UUIDs carry 122 random bits. You would need to generate about 2.7 × 10¹⁸ of them before a collision became likely.
  • They are random, so they make poor primary keys in large tables — the index fragments. UUIDv7 or an auto-increment column indexes far better.
  • The version 4 marker is fixed: the 13th hex digit is always 4, and the 17th is 8, 9, a or b.

Frequently asked questions

Are these safe to use as security tokens?

They are generated with the browser’s cryptographic random source, so the entropy is sound. Even so, use a purpose-built token with an expiry and server-side validation for sessions or password resets.
