Random String Generator

Free online random string generator. Create cryptographically secure random strings with custom length and character sets (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, symbols) — ideal for tokens and API keys.

What makes a random string cryptographically secure?

Ordinary random functions like Math.random() are predictable — an observer who sees a few outputs can forecast the rest, which is fatal for tokens and keys. Cryptographically secure generators (CSPRNGs) draw from operating-system entropy and are unpredictable even to someone who knows the algorithm.

This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling, which also removes modulo bias — every character in your chosen set is exactly equally likely. That is the correct way to mint API keys, session tokens and reset codes.

How to use

  1. 01Set the string length and how many strings to generate.
  2. 02Pick the character sets to include: A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and symbols.
  3. 03Click Generate — strings are created with cryptographically secure randomness.
  4. 04Copy the results for use as tokens, keys or test data.

Frequently asked questions

Are these strings secure enough for tokens and keys?
Yes. Characters are chosen using crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling to avoid bias — the same quality of randomness used by password managers.
What length should an API token be?
For 128-bit security with letters and digits, use at least 22 characters. 32+ characters is a comfortable standard for API keys.
Are generated strings stored anywhere?
No. Generation happens in your browser and results disappear when you leave the page.
