History

Random Number Generator 1–10: step by step

  1. Press Generate or the Space bar.
  2. Read your number. Every number from 1 to 10 is equally likely.
  3. Change the range or how many numbers you need at any time.

How random is it?

Numbers come from crypto.getRandomValues, the cryptographically secure generator built into your browser, with a method that keeps every number in the range exactly equally likely. That's better than most "random" functions, which can slightly favor some numbers.

With or without repeats

  • No repeats works like drawing numbered tickets from a hat: each number can come out once. Use it for raffles, lotteries and picking winners.
  • Allow repeats works like rolling a die: the same number can come up again. Use it for games and simulations.

Popular uses
