About ULID

  • Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier
  • 128-bit identifier compatible with UUID/GUID
  • Sortable by creation time (like UUIDv1/v7) without exposing MAC address
  • Uses Crockford's Base32 encoding (26 characters, no confusing chars)
  • Monotonic within same millisecond (last char increments)
More about the ULID Generator

A ULID isn't a UUID at all, it's a different, older specification encoded in Crockford's Base32, twenty-six characters with no visually ambiguous letters like I, l, O, or 0, which makes it noticeably shorter than a standard UUID's thirty-six characters and genuinely easier to read aloud, type by hand, or reference in a support ticket without a stray typo silently pointing at the wrong record. This tool generates ULIDs, time-sortable identifiers built around compact, human-friendly encoding rather than the standard UUID hex format. Useful for generating an identifier that's actually practical to read aloud or type manually, choosing a shorter, sortable ID for a system where UUID's format isn't a hard requirement, or picking ULID specifically for its unambiguous character set over other time-sortable identifier formats.
