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

| |
| * **Small.** 130 bytes (minified and gzipped). No dependencies. |
| [Size Limit] controls the size. |
| * **Fast.** It is 2 times faster than UUID. |
| * **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 [20 programming languages](#other-programming-languages). |
