Nano ID

English | Русский | 简体中文 | Bahasa Indonesia

A tiny, secure, URL-friendly, unique string ID generator for JavaScript.

“An amazing level of senseless perfectionism, which is simply impossible not to respect.”

• Small. 118 bytes (minified and brotlied). No dependencies. Size Limit controls the size.
• Safe. It uses hardware random generator. Can be used in clusters.
• Short IDs. It uses a larger alphabet than UUID (A-Za-z0-9_-). So ID size was reduced from 36 to 21 symbols.
• Portable. Nano ID was ported to over 20 programming languages.
