  • Passwords — Generate strong random passwords with custom character sets.
  • API keys — Create random API keys, tokens, or secret keys for development.
  • Filenames — Generate random unique filenames to avoid conflicts.

Character Sets Explained

Alphanumeric: Includes all letters (a-z, A-Z) and digits (0-9). This is the most common choice for general-purpose random strings. Total of 62 possible characters.

Alphabetic Only: Only letters (a-z, A-Z) with no numbers or special characters. Useful when you need purely text-based strings. Total of 52 possible characters.

Numeric Only: Only digits (0-9). Perfect for generating random numeric codes, PINs, or ID numbers. Total of 10 possible characters.

Hexadecimal: Uses 0-9 and a-f (16 characters total). Commonly used for color codes, hash values, and computer-related identifiers. Set length to 6 for standard hex color codes.

Custom Characters: Define your own character set by typing the exact characters you want to use. For example, enter "ABCD1234" to generate strings using only those 8 characters. Great for creating strings with special requirements or including symbols like !@#$%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the generated strings truly random?
Yes, strings are generated using JavaScript's cryptographically secure random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues) when available, falling back to Math.random() if not supported. Each character is randomly selected from your chosen character set.
Can I use special characters?
Yes! Select "Custom Characters" from the character set dropdown and enter any characters you want to use, including special symbols like !@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?
How do I generate hex color codes?
Select "Hexadecimal" as the character set and set the length to 6. Each generated string will be a valid 6-character hex code. Add a # prefix manually when using as CSS colors.
What format is the download file?
The download button creates a plain text (.txt) file with one string per line. This makes it easy to import into spreadsheets, databases, or other applications.
Is there a limit on quantity or length?
You can generate up to 100 strings at once, and each string can be between 1 and 100 characters long. These limits ensure fast generation and prevent browser performance issues.
