ULID Generator

Use this ULID generator to create sortable, fixed-length identifiers. ULIDs combine a time component with random data, making them lexicographically sortable by creation time.

The tool generates up to 1000 ULIDs at once. It runs entirely in your browser without sending any data to a server.

Batch generation

Adjust the Count input to create multiple ULIDs in a single batch. The list updates instantly when you change the count or any other setting.

Enable the Uppercase toggle if your database or logging system requires uppercase strings. This only changes the text casing and does not alter the underlying identifier structure.

Monotonic mode

Standard ULIDs generated within the same millisecond are not guaranteed to sort in the exact order they were created.

The Monotonic option solves this by keeping the identifiers strictly increasing. Use this mode when you generate multiple IDs in quick succession and need them to preserve their precise generation order.

Timestamp inspection

Every ULID embeds the exact time it was created. The stats panel automatically decodes and displays the timestamp from the first ULID in your generated list.

This allows you to verify the time component without needing a separate parsing tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

A ULID, or Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier, is a 26-character identifier format designed to be unique, readable, and sortable by time. It combines a timestamp component with random data so IDs can stay compact while preserving useful ordering behavior.

ULIDs are often chosen when you want identifiers that are easier to sort by creation time and easier to read than standard UUIDs. UUIDs are widely supported and standardized, while ULIDs are especially appealing when lexicographic ordering and embedded time information are helpful.

Monotonic mode helps keep generated ULIDs ordered even when multiple IDs are created within the same millisecond. This is useful when you want a sequence of IDs that remains naturally sortable in generation order.

Yes. This tool can generate one ULID or create hundreds in one run, which is useful for test data, fixtures, imports, demos, and developer workflows.

Yes. ULIDs include a timestamp component, which is one reason they are lexicographically sortable. This tool decodes and shows the timestamp from the first generated ULID so you can inspect it easily.

A standard ULID is always 26 characters long. This fixed length makes it easier to store, validate, and compare in applications and development workflows.
