Bulk UUID Generator
This bulk UUID generator lets you generate hundreds or thousands of UUIDs at once — v4, v7, or v1. Export as plain text, JSON, CSV, or SQL INSERT. All generated in your browser. Nothing sent to a server.
Use Cases
How Our Bulk UUID Generator Works
Generating UUIDs one at a time works for most tasks, but several common scenarios call for a dedicated bulk UUID generator producing hundreds or thousands at once:
Database Seeding
Pre-generate primary keys for test fixtures, database seeds, or migrations without hitting your application server.
Test Data Generation
Fill test databases, mock APIs, or load-test harnesses with realistic UUID identifiers that match production format.
Data Migration
Generate stable UUIDs for migrating integer-keyed tables to UUID-keyed schemas before running live migration scripts.
API Mocking
Populate API mock responses with valid UUID identifiers for frontend development and integration testing.
File & Object Naming
Generate unique names for S3 objects, uploaded files, or cache keys in bulk before a batch upload job.
Script Pipelines
Download a plain-text file of UUIDs and pipe it into shell scripts, Python pipelines, or data processing workflows.
Version Guide
Which UUID Version for Bulk Generation?
| Version | Algorithm | Best for bulk when | 2026 Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| v4 (Random) | 122 cryptographically random bits | Opaque, unguessable identifiers. No timestamp exposure. Works everywhere. | Default — tokens, file names, API IDs |
| v7 (Unix Timestamp) | 48-bit Unix ms timestamp + 74 random bits | Database primary keys where time-ordered UUIDs improve B-tree index efficiency. | Preferred for DB PKs — PostgreSQL 18, Laravel 11, Rails 8 |
| v1 (Time-based) | 60-bit Gregorian timestamp + MAC/random | Compatibility with legacy v1-based systems. | Avoid for new projects |
UUID v3 and v5 are deterministic — you need a unique name for each, so bulk generation is meaningless. For any real bulk scenario, use v4 (opaque random) or v7 (time-ordered for database primary keys).
Export Formats
Export Format Guide
| Format | Output | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Plain Text | One UUID per line | Shell scripts, Python pipelines, line-by-line processing |
| JSON Array | [“uuid1″,”uuid2”,…] | JavaScript/Node.js apps, API mock files, Postman environments |
| CSV | Comma-separated per line | Spreadsheets, database tools, CSV-based migration scripts |
| SQL INSERT | INSERT INTO uuids (id) VALUES (…) | Directly seeding a database table. Edit table/column names before running. |
