Random Generator

WEB

Generate random numbers, dice, coins and colors fairly.

What is the Random Generator tool?

This random number generator picks a number in any range you set — 1 to 10, 1 to 100 or anything else — with one tap. It also rolls a six-sided die, flips a coin (heads or tails) and picks a random winner from a list of names or options, which makes it a quick, fair way to run a draw or giveaway on the spot. Every result is generated instantly in your browser; nothing is sent to a server, and there is no sign-up and none of the ad-walled spinner-site clutter.

Each mode is one tap away. Number mode takes a minimum and a maximum and returns a whole number in that range, inclusive of both ends. Dice mode rolls 1–6, coin mode lands heads or tails with equal odds, and list mode takes your options one per line — paste the entrants and tap «Pick one» to draw a winner. Results come from your browser's built-in random source, so every outcome is independent of the ones before it.

Use it to settle who goes first, draw a giveaway winner in front of the audience, pick tonight's dinner from a shortlist, or roll dice when the real ones are missing. It is free, works on your phone, and shows each result in large type that is easy to screenshot for transparency. For security-sensitive randomness — passwords or keys — use a dedicated tool like Carbide's password generator instead.

How to use the Random Generator

  1. Choose a mode: number, dice, coin or list.
  2. For a number, set the minimum and maximum of your range — for example 1 to 100.
  3. For a draw, switch to list mode and enter the options or names, one per line.
  4. Tap the action button — «Generate», «Roll dice», «Flip coin» or «Pick one».
  5. Tap again any time for a new, independent result.

Frequently asked questions

Is the random number generator truly random?

It uses your browser's built-in pseudo-random source, which is statistically fair and unpredictable enough for games, draws and everyday decisions. It is not certified true randomness and should not be used for cryptography — for passwords, use a password generator built on a cryptographic source.

Can I avoid repeat numbers?

Each result is generated independently, so repeats are possible — just like real dice. For a no-repeat draw, use list mode instead: put every option on its own line and delete each winner from the list before the next pick.

How do I run a fair giveaway draw?

Switch to list mode, paste the participants' names one per line, and tap «Pick one» — every entry has an equal chance. The result shows in large type, so you can screenshot it or draw live on a call for transparency.

How is this different from random.org?

random.org generates true randomness from atmospheric noise and offers certified draws, which regulated raffles may require. This generator runs entirely in your browser — instant, private and free — and is plenty fair for games, classroom picks and informal giveaways.

Is anything sent to a server when I generate?

No. Numbers, dice rolls, coin flips and list picks are all computed locally in your browser. Your list of names never leaves your device.

Is it free? Is there a limit on how many times I can generate?

Completely free, no sign-up, no cap. Generate numbers, roll dice or run draws as many times as you like.
