A v4 UUID is 122 random bits (the `4` marks the version, and the `8/9/a/b` nibble marks the variant), giving a collision probability so small you can generate them independently on many clients without coordination. Randomness comes from the Web Crypto CSPRNG, so values are not predictable across requests.

Frequently asked questions

Will I ever get a duplicate UUID?

Practically no. The probability of a collision with v4 UUIDs is astronomically low, you would need to generate over a billion UUIDs per second for decades to have a 50% chance of one duplicate.

What is the format of a UUID?

A UUID is a 128-bit value displayed as 32 hexadecimal digits in five groups separated by hyphens: 8-4-4-4-12 (e.g., 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000).
