What is the difference between UUID v4 and v1?

UUID v4 uses random bits and is the default for most applications. UUID v1 embeds a timestamp and is sortable by creation time but reveals timing information.

Are generated UUIDs cryptographically secure?

Yes. This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues() and the browser's crypto.randomUUID() API when available.

Is my data uploaded?

No. UUIDs are generated entirely in your browser and never sent to a server.
