Random Generators

True Randomness in Your Browser

These tools use the browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API to produce cryptographically random results. This is the same source of entropy used in security applications — not a pseudo-random algorithm that repeats patterns, but hardware-seeded randomness that is unpredictable and non-reproducible.

Random Number Generator

The random number generator picks one or more random integers within any range you specify. Useful for games, simulations, picking a winner from a list, sampling data, lottery numbers, dice rolling, or any situation where you need an unbiased random selection.

Random Word Generator

Generates random words drawn from a dictionary. Useful for brainstorming, creative writing prompts, vocabulary games, placeholder names, and testing text-processing tools.

Password Generator

Generates strong random passwords of any length using a configurable character set (uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols). Passwords are generated entirely in your browser and are never transmitted anywhere.

A strong password should be at least 16 characters long. Longer is always better — each character multiplies the number of possible passwords exponentially, making brute-force attacks impractical.

UUID Generator

Generates version 4 UUIDs (Universally Unique Identifiers) — 128-bit random identifiers formatted as xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx. UUIDs are used as primary keys in databases, as identifiers in distributed systems, and anywhere a globally unique ID is needed without coordination between systems.

Bingo Number Generator

Draws random Bingo numbers (B1–O75) in the traditional order, keeping track of which numbers have been called so no number repeats in a game. Useful for classroom activities, fundraisers, and family game nights.

Playing Card Draw

Simulates drawing cards from a shuffled deck. Keeps track of which cards have been drawn in the current session so you can deal a full game without repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is crypto.getRandomValues() truly random?
It is cryptographically secure pseudo-random — seeded from hardware entropy sources (like CPU timing jitter or mouse movement) and designed so that outputs cannot be predicted or reproduced from prior outputs. For all practical purposes this is equivalent to true randomness.

Can I reproduce a specific random result?
No. The randomness is non-deterministic by design. If you need reproducible random sequences (for testing or simulation), use a seeded pseudo-random generator with a fixed seed — those tools are not on this page.

Why is a random password more secure than one I make up?
Human-chosen passwords follow predictable patterns — dictionary words, names, dates, keyboard walks. Attackers exploit these patterns in dictionary and rule-based attacks. A truly random password has no pattern to exploit. At 16+ characters from a large character set, even exhaustive brute-force search is computationally infeasible.
