NanoID best practices

What makes NanoID special?

NanoID creates tiny, URL-safe identifiers with excellent entropy. A length of 21 characters using the default alphabet gives roughly 128 bits of randomness—more than enough for public IDs or invitation links.

Common use cases

  • Generate collision-resistant IDs for database records.
  • Create shareable tokens for invites and referral programs.
  • Produce short slugs for URLs without exposing incremental integers.

Tips for secure IDs

  • Longer IDs dramatically reduce collision risk—consider 24+ characters for high-traffic APIs.
  • Use a custom alphabet to limit characters when copying into systems that disallow symbols.
  • Regenerate any IDs that contain leading or trailing spaces after manual edits.
