What Is a ULID Generator?

A ULID generator creates Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifiers — 26-character, URL-safe IDs that embed a millisecond timestamp. Unlike UUID v4, ULIDs sort chronologically, making them ideal for database primary keys, distributed systems, and event logs where insertion order matters. This tool generates ULIDs entirely in your browser using the ulid library — no server, no signup.

How to Use the ULID Generator

  1. Set the Quantity (1–100) to generate multiple ULIDs at once.
  2. Toggle Uppercase to switch between uppercase (canonical) and lowercase output.
  3. Toggle Show Timestamp to decode and display the embedded ISO 8601 timestamp for each ULID.
  4. Click Generate to produce new ULIDs.
  5. Click Copy All to copy all generated ULIDs to the clipboard.

Features

  • Bulk generation — generate 1 to 100 ULIDs at once
  • Timestamp decoding — reveal the ISO 8601 date embedded in each ULID
  • Case toggle — uppercase (canonical) or lowercase output
  • Copy all — copy the full list to clipboard in one click
  • Browser-only — no data sent to any server

FAQ

What is a ULID?

A ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier encoded as a 26-character Crockford Base32 string. Unlike UUID v4, ULIDs embed a millisecond-precision timestamp in the first 10 characters, making them naturally sortable by creation time.

How is a ULID different from a UUID?

ULIDs are lexicographically sortable (newer IDs sort after older ones), URL-safe (no hyphens), and encode a timestamp. UUIDs (v4) are purely random and not sortable. Both are 128-bit and collision-resistant.

What timestamp is encoded in a ULID?

The first 10 characters of a ULID encode the Unix timestamp in milliseconds at the time of generation. Enable "Show Timestamp" to decode and display this value as an ISO 8601 date.

Are ULIDs case-sensitive?

ULIDs are case-insensitive by spec. The canonical form is uppercase. This tool lets you toggle between uppercase and lowercase output.
