UUIDv7 From Timestamp

Generate and inspect ID/random/timestamp values in your browser. No input is sent to a server. Use it for first-pass spec compliance checks.

Status

Timestamp (UTC)

Timestamp (TZ)

Runs in your browser. No input is sent to a server. Use this as a first-pass diagnostic step.

How to use

Enter Unix ms and click “Generate”. It outputs 3 UUIDv7 variants. Use Copy on each row.

Notes (this tool)

  • earliest/latest are implemented by minimizing/maximizing the random area. This is a practical ordering aid, not a formally guaranteed extremum.
  • UUIDv7 timestamp is a 48-bit Unix ms value. Out-of-range inputs are rejected.

About this page

What does this tool do?

It builds UUIDv7 values for a given Unix ms and returns the minimum/maximum (earliest/latest) for that moment.

For start/end range queries, use Range Builder.

earliest / random / latest

Even within the same millisecond, UUIDv7 can vary in non-timestamp bits. For range boundaries, the minimum (earliest) and maximum (latest) values for that millisecond matter.

  • earliest: the minimum UUID for that millisecond (good for start boundary)
  • latest: the maximum UUID for that millisecond (good for end boundary)
  • random: an intermediate value (single sample; for boundaries, prefer earliest/latest)

Debugging workflow (recommended)

  • Generate or paste a value
  • Check format, timestamp, and character constraints
  • Confirm against destination validation requirements

Operational notes

  • Format validity does not guarantee security or uniqueness. Confirm requirements by use case.
  • Align randomness, timestamp, and formatting handling with your operational policy.

Referenced specs

  • RFC 9562 (UUIDv7)
  • unix_ts_ms: 48-bit (0 to 2^48-1)
  • Boundaries: meaning of earliest / latest
  • Input time as Unix milliseconds

Typical use cases

  • When you need a single boundary UUID for a specific moment
  • To compare earliest / latest / random for the same millisecond

FAQ

Does the same timestamp always produce the same UUIDv7?

No. Except boundary-fixed modes (earliest/latest), random bits change, so values differ even at the same timestamp.

Do local timezone differences affect results?

Computation is based on Unix milliseconds (UTC). Convert input time to Unix ms correctly before generation.
