Generating UUIDs/GUIDs with Code

Learn how to generate UUIDs/GUIDs in different programming languages!

At uuid.site (opens in a new tab), we specialize in generating UUIDs. Our services are incredibly useful for quickly generating one-off UUIDs needed for software configurations or new gadgets. If you have software projects or business needs that require a consistent set of UUIDs, our batch generation feature allows you to conveniently download and save them to a file.

However, there may be scenarios where copying and pasting UUIDs from our site is impractical or accessing our site to obtain new UUIDs is not feasible.

Moreover, you may require the ability to generate UUIDs automatically as part of your application's functionality. While you can use our API to retrieve UUIDs in your code, this approach can be slower compared to generating them directly within your own code.

How to generate UUIDs/GUIDs in your code?

The process of generating UUIDs/GUIDs depends on the programming language you are using. Most programming languages have built-in functions for generating UUIDs/GUIDs, while others may require the use of third-party libraries.

Regardless of your preferred programming language, we'll guide you through the process of generating UUIDs/GUIDs within your own code!
