About Randomness

This tool uses JavaScript's Math.random() which produces pseudo-random numbers. For security-sensitive applications (passwords, cryptographic keys), use crypto.getRandomValues() instead. Math.random() is suitable for games, simulations, and sampling.

How to Use the Random Number Generator

  1. Paste or enter your input into the text field.
  2. Configure any options (format, delimiter, encoding, or mode) using the controls above the output.
  3. The result updates instantly — no submit button required for most operations.
  4. Click Copy or Download to take the output to your next step.

Pick a minimum, a maximum, and a batch size; the tool returns that many integers sampled uniformly between the two endpoints, inclusive on both ends. The standard inclusive formula Math.floor(rand × (max − min + 1)) + min is used, which gives every integer in the range exactly equal probability.

How the Random Number Generator Works

The underlying generator is the browser's Math.random(), a pseudo-random source seeded from the page environment. That is statistically uniform and perfectly fine for dice, simulations, raffle numbers, sample data, and anything else where a determined attacker is not in scope. For cryptographic randomness — passwords, tokens, audited lotteries — use a tool built on crypto.getRandomValues() instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Math.random() actually random?

It is a pseudo-random generator: deterministic given a hidden internal seed, but well-distributed and statistically random for everyday use. It is not cryptographic — never use it for keys, tokens, or audited draws. For those, use crypto.getRandomValues().

Are both endpoints reachable?

Yes. The conversion uses Math.floor(Math.random() × (max − min + 1)) + min, which is the standard inclusive-on-both-ends formula. Both min and max have exactly 1 / (max − min + 1) probability.

Can I use a negative minimum?

Yes. The formula is range-agnostic, so −10 to 10 returns every integer from −10 through 10 with equal probability.

Does generating many numbers in a row affect the distribution?

No. Each draw is independent and the distribution is memoryless. A long run of small numbers is no more or less likely to be followed by a small number — that intuition (the gambler's fallacy) does not apply to a uniform RNG.
