{ } How to use
- Paste a GUID or UUID in any punctuation.
- Choose the format you want, then select Process.
{ } How it works
GUID Formatter works on the text you provide. Adjust the options, then select Process ▸ and it runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server — then shows the result in the Output panel.
Inputs
- GUID / UUID — paste or type your input in the left panel (use Sample for an example)
- Format — choose one — lowercase-hyphens, UPPERCASE-HYPHENS, no hyphens, {braces}, (parens), urn:uuid: (default: lowercase-hyphens)
Output
TXT text — copy or download it from the Output panel.
{ } Common uses
- Match the exact form a database, a registry or an API expects.
- Normalise identifiers from two systems before comparing them.
- Strip or add hyphens and braces without editing by hand.
{ } Limitations
- This reformats; it does not validate. Any 32 hexadecimal digits are accepted, so it will happily format something that is not a real UUID, and it does not check the version or variant bits.
- All non-hexadecimal characters are stripped before formatting, so braces, hyphens, a urn:uuid: prefix and stray spaces are all tolerated — but the digits left over must number exactly 32.
{ } FAQ
Is my data uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Can I process more than one file at once?
This tool works on one input at a time.
Is this tool free?
Yes — it’s completely free and needs no sign-up.
Does the format change the identifier?
No. Hyphens, braces and case are presentation only: the same 32 digits in any of these forms are the same UUID.
