What is ULID Generator?

ULID Generator creates ULIDs in bulk. A ULID is a unique identifier that sorts well by time, in a 26-character format shorter than a UUID.

Generated ULIDs can be copied directly or saved as a CSV file. It is useful when you need multiple identifiers at once.

How to Use

  1. Choose a generation method.
  2. For time seed and monotonic modes, check the seed time and refill it with the current time if needed.
  3. Adjust the quantity. ULIDs are regenerated automatically whenever the settings change. Use regenerate to draw again under the same conditions.
  4. Review the results and use copy or CSV download.

Main Settings

Generation Method

Default generates ULIDs using the current time. This is the simplest option when you have no special requirements.

Time seed generates ULIDs based on a specified time. It is useful when you want to test IDs against a fixed timestamp.

Monotonic issues ULIDs that keep their order even when several are created within the same millisecond. It suits rapid sequential generation.

For specification details, see the ULID specification.

Seed Time

This sets the reference time for time seed and monotonic modes, in milliseconds. ULIDs are not generated while the value is empty or invalid, and a warning is shown instead.

Quantity

You can create multiple ULIDs at once. It is useful for comparing candidates or preparing test data in bulk.

Use Cases

  • Creating IDs for logs or events that you want to sort by time
  • Testing ULID as a candidate key for a database
  • Generating unique identifiers for distributed systems or APIs

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Generated ULIDs only live on the page. Regenerating or leaving the page discards them, so copy or download the ones you want to keep
  • A downloaded CSV is plain text and not encrypted. Be careful where you store it and delete it when you no longer need it
