Set Count. The starting value is 1. Click Run and copy the result under the form.

What can I paste or upload into ULID?

What output does ULID give me?

One ULID per line, using the Crockford alphabet. A new run produces new ids.

Is ULID free, and is my input private?

Yes — Your input is processed in memory for this request only. It is not saved to disk or the database, and it is cleared after the tool finishes.

Is a ULID a UUID?

No. It is 128 bits displayed as 26 characters, with the time in the first characters. It is not an RFC 4122 UUID.
