Enter a UUID above to validate

A string that looks roughly UUID-shaped, the right length with dashes in the right places, isn't necessarily a valid one, and even a properly formatted UUID still comes in different versions, v1 built from a timestamp and a MAC address, v4 purely random, v7 time-ordered, each identifiable by a specific version digit embedded in the string itself. This tool validates whether a UUID string is actually correctly formatted and identifies which version it is from that embedded digit, rather than just confirming it merely looks the right shape.

See more about the UUID Validator

Useful for confirming a UUID pulled from a log or a database is actually valid before trusting it, identifying whether a given UUID is v1, v4, or v7 by reading its version marker, or catching a malformed UUID that's missing a dash or has an extra character before it causes an error somewhere else.

Quick answers for UUID Validator

Which UUID versions can it identify?
It checks the version digit in the third group of the UUID and labels the result as v1, v4, or v7, or "unknown" if that digit does not match a recognized version.
What exactly makes a UUID invalid here?
The input is checked against the full RFC 4122 pattern of 8-4-4-4-12 hex digit groups with a valid version digit (1 through 5) and a valid variant digit (8, 9, a, or b), so a mistyped character or wrong grouping is flagged as invalid.
Can I copy a UUID after validating it?
Yes, a Copy UUID button appears alongside the validation result and copies the exact text you entered to your clipboard.
