    • The page audit reads HTML you paste — use the Link checker to follow a link
    • YAML support covers the widely used syntax only
    • JWT decoding unpacks the contents; it does not verify the signature

    Frequently asked questions

    Can two UUIDs collide?

    A v4 UUID has 122 random bits, so the odds of a repeat are negligible. This tool uses a cryptographic random source.

    Is a GUID the same thing?

    Yes, same format. Microsoft calls UUIDs GUIDs.

    Can I make many at once?

    One at a time — each press gives a new one.
