Standard Representations
Cryptographic UUID & GUID Analysis Suite
Deep inspection of RFC 4122 and RFC 9562 UUID specifications directly in your browser.
Embedded Timestamp Extraction
Extracts the exact UTC date and time encoded inside time-based UUID v1 and modern Unix Epoch UUID v7 identifiers.
Modern UUID v7 Generator
Generates RFC 9562 UUID v7 identifiers with millisecond time-ordered sorting, optimal for database primary keys and B-Trees.
Multi-Format Representations
Converts any UUID into Canonical, Compact Hex, Microsoft GUID, URN, 128-bit Decimal Integer, and 16-byte hex array formats.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between UUID v4 and UUID v7?
UUID v4 is completely random and can cause database index fragmentation. UUID v7 embeds a millisecond Unix timestamp in the first 48 bits, providing chronological time ordering with random uniqueness.
How does the decoder know which version a UUID is?
According to RFC 4122, the 13th hexadecimal character (the high 4 bits of the `time_hi_and_version` field) explicitly defines the version number (1 through 7).
Are UUIDs generated using secure cryptography?
Yes. All UUIDs are generated using the browser's native `crypto.getRandomValues()` and `crypto.randomUUID()` CSPRNG engines.
Can I decode GUIDs generated by Windows or .NET?
Yes. Microsoft GUIDs use the same 128-bit structure (Variant 2 or RFC 4122) and can be pasted directly with or without curly braces {...}.
