Frequently asked questions

What is a UUID used for?

A universally unique identifier is commonly used as a database key, request ID, or unique filename where collisions must be extremely unlikely.

Are these UUIDs sent anywhere?

No, they’re generated entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API and never leave your device.

Can two generated UUIDs ever collide?

It’s theoretically possible but practically negligible — version 4 UUIDs have 122 random bits, making collisions astronomically unlikely.

Troubleshooting

Why is the quantity capped at 50?

It’s a simple usability limit for the on-screen list — generate multiple batches if you need more.

Why did copy all not work?

Clipboard access can be blocked by browser permissions or an insecure (non-HTTPS) context — select and copy the list manually as a fallback.
