FAQ
What is a Short ID?
A Short ID is a compact random identifier designed for situations where a shorter value is more convenient than a longer identifier such as a UUID.
Can I change the ID length?
Yes. You can choose a length from 1 to 64 characters for the generated identifiers.
Which characters are used by the generator?
The generator uses uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens.
Can I generate multiple IDs at once?
Yes. You can generate from 1 to 100 short identifiers in a single operation.
Are short IDs guaranteed to be unique?
No. Short random identifiers can collide. Increasing the length provides a larger number of possible combinations and makes collisions less likely.
