Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate random strings?

Set the length, choose which character types to include (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and specify how many strings to generate. Click 'Generate' to create random strings. You can also use a custom character set.

Can I use a custom character set?

Yes! Enter your custom characters in the 'Custom Character Set' field. When a custom charset is provided, it overrides the character type options. This is useful for generating strings with specific characters only.

How many strings can I generate at once?

You can generate multiple strings at once by setting the count. The tool will generate the specified number of random strings, each with the same length and character set options.

Is the random string generator free to use?

Yes! Our random string generator is 100% free with no registration required, no usage limits, and no hidden fees. You can generate as many random strings as you need for your development work.

Are my generated strings stored or tracked?

No, all string generation happens locally in your browser. We don't store, save, or have access to any strings you generate. Your privacy is completely protected.

What are random strings used for?

Random strings are commonly used for API keys, session IDs, unique identifiers, test data, passwords, tokens, and any scenario where you need unpredictable character sequences.

How secure are the generated strings?

The tool uses browser's Math.random() for generation, which is suitable for most use cases but not cryptographically secure. For security-critical applications (passwords, tokens), consider using crypto.getRandomValues() or a dedicated secure random generator.

Can I generate strings with only specific characters?

Yes! Use the 'Custom Character Set' field to specify exactly which characters to use. When a custom charset is provided, it overrides the character type checkboxes. This is useful for generating strings with specific character requirements.

What's the maximum length I can generate?

The tool supports generating strings up to 1000 characters in length. You can adjust the length using the slider or by entering a value directly. For very long strings, consider generating multiple shorter strings.

Can I generate multiple strings at once?

Yes! Set the 'Number of Strings' field to generate multiple random strings at once (up to 100). Each string will have the same length and character set options. This is useful for generating test data or multiple API keys.

How do I copy all generated strings?

Click the 'Copy All' button to copy all generated strings to your clipboard, separated by newlines. You can also copy individual strings using the copy button next to each string.
