Random String Generator
Generate one or more random strings in your browser. Choose a length from 1 to 256 and a quantity from 1 to 100. Select a preset or custom character set, optionally exclude duplicate or look-alike characters, and copy or download results. The cryptographically secure random source runs locally; entropy is an estimate and may not reflect the no-duplicates rule.

About this tool
Choose a character set
Use alphanumeric, lowercase, uppercase, numeric, hexadecimal, URL-safe, readable, or custom characters. A familiar character set does not by itself make a string a valid hash, token, URL, password, or key.
Set length and quantity
Generate strings from 1 to 256 characters and 1 to 100 results per batch. Quantity is the number of separate strings; length applies to each one.
Exclude characters
Exclude duplicates to prevent repeated characters within each string; the character pool must be large enough for the requested length. Exclude look-alike characters to make values easier to read. Both options affect the available choices.
Copy, download, and entropy
Copy one result, copy the batch, or download a TXT file. The displayed pool size and entropy are estimates. In particular, the entropy figure is based on pool size and length and does not account for the reduced combinations when duplicates are excluded.
Use random strings appropriately
Generation happens locally in your browser using its cryptographically secure random source. Values are not sent to our server. This does not make every output suitable for a production secret; follow the consuming system’s length, format, and handling requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Are generated strings sent to a server?
No. They are generated locally in your browser using a cryptographic random source.
What lengths and quantities are available?
Each string can have 1–256 characters, and a batch can contain 1–100 strings.
Which character sets are available?
Alphanumeric, lowercase, uppercase, numeric, hexadecimal, URL-safe, readable, and custom.
Is entropy exact when duplicates are excluded?
No. The estimate does not account for the reduced number of combinations without duplicates.
