What Is a GUID Formatter?

A GUID Formatter converts a GUID or UUID into different string representations without changing the underlying 128-bit identifier. This is useful when working with .NET applications, APIs, databases, source code and development tools.

.NET GUID Formats

Microsoft .NET provides five standard GUID format specifiers: D, N, B, P and X. Each format represents the same GUID using a different textual structure.

FormatRepresentationExample
DStandard550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
N32 digits550e8400e29b41d4a716446655440000
BBraces{550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000}
PParentheses(550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000)
XHexadecimal{0x550e8400,0xe29b,0x41d4,{0xa7,0x16,0x44,0x66,0x55,0x44,0x00,0x00}}

GUID D Format

The D format is the standard GUID representation with 32 hexadecimal characters separated by four hyphens. It is the default format returned by .NET when no other format specifier is supplied.

GUID N Format

The N format contains the same 32 hexadecimal characters without hyphens.

GUID B and P Formats

The B format surrounds the standard D representation with curly braces, while P surrounds it with parentheses. These are standard .NET GUID representations.

GUID X Format

The X format represents the GUID using hexadecimal values inside a structured set of braces. It is useful when working with lower-level or source-code-oriented representations.

GUID Formatter for Developers

Use the formatter when you need to convert GUID values for .NET applications, APIs, SQL databases, test data, configuration files or source code. The underlying identifier remains unchanged; only its textual representation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

A GUID Formatter converts a GUID into different standard representations such as D, N, B, P and X formats used by .NET and other development environments.

D is the standard hyphenated format, N contains 32 hexadecimal digits without hyphens, B wraps the D format in braces, P wraps it in parentheses, and X uses the hexadecimal structure format supported by .NET.

Yes. Enter multiple GUIDs with one value per line and the formatter will process them together.

Yes. You can format GUIDs using lowercase or uppercase hexadecimal characters.

Yes. The formatter supports the standard .NET GUID format specifiers D, N, B, P and X.

Yes. Select the N format to convert a standard GUID into 32 hexadecimal characters without hyphens.

Yes. GUID formatting is performed in your browser, so the values do not need to be uploaded to a server.

GUID and UUID generally represent the same 128-bit identifier. GUID formatting is especially common in Microsoft and .NET applications.
