UUID v4 Generator
Generate random UUID v4 identifiers — the universal default for primary keys, session IDs, and anonymous IDs.
What is a UUID v4?
UUID v4 is the random-bits flavor of the RFC 4122 UUID spec — 122 bits of entropy drawn from a cryptographic random source (in the browser, that's crypto.getRandomValues, which is a CSPRNG). The remaining 6 bits encode the version (4) and the variant (RFC 4122 / DCE), so any compliant parser can recognize it. It's the most widely used UUID flavor today: primary keys, session tokens, anonymous user IDs, anywhere you need an ID that's effectively guaranteed unique without coordination. Generation is computed locally on your device via crypto.getRandomValues() — no value ever touches a server.

About UUID v4 (RFC 4122)
RFC 4122 (2005) defines the UUID spec; v4 is the random-bits variant generated entirely from a CSPRNG.
- Format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (36 chars including 4 hyphens)
- The leading 4 in the 13th hex character is the version nibble
- y (17th char) is one of 8, 9, a, or b — the RFC 4122 variant
- 122 bits of entropy from crypto.getRandomValues() (the browser's CSPRNG)
- Total length: 128 bits / 16 bytes / 32 hex digits
