Generate random tokens and secret strings from a cryptographically secure source

About 191 bits of entropy for this setting. Each character is picked independently.

🔑 Token Generator — Free Online Tool

Generate random tokens and secret strings online, free. This token generator creates random strings for API keys, shared secrets, test values and similar uses. You choose the length (8 to 256 characters) and the character set, and each character is chosen independently from a cryptographically secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues) with no modulo bias.

🚀 Why use this Token Generator tool?

Entropy is what makes a token hard to guess. A 32-character token from letters and digits carries about 190 bits, and the tool shows the bit count for your chosen settings. 100% free, no registration, and complete privacy — everything runs locally in your browser, so your data never touches a server.

Key Features

🎲Cryptographically secure

Characters come from crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's CSPRNG, not Math.random.

⚖️Unbiased characters

Bytes that would make some characters more likely are rejected, so every character in the set has the same chance.

🧩Choose the alphabet

Use letters and digits, hex, URL-safe characters (- and _), or all printable symbols, depending on where the token will be used.

🔒Nothing stored

Tokens exist only in the page. They are not sent anywhere, saved or logged.

Frequently Asked Questions

How random are these tokens?

The characters come from crypto.getRandomValues, which the browser provides as a cryptographically secure random number generator. Rejection sampling keeps each character equally likely. The tool shows the entropy in bits for the settings you choose.

How long should a token be?

It depends on the use. 32 characters from letters and digits (about 190 bits) is well beyond guessing for API keys. Shorter values are fine for test data but should not be used as real secrets.

Which character set should I pick?

Use URL-safe if the token goes into a URL or query string. Use hex if a system expects hex digits. Use letters and digits when a simple alphanumeric value is required. Use printable symbols only when the target system accepts them, because quoting and escaping can break them.

Does this tool keep the tokens?

No. The token is held only in the open page until you generate another or leave the page. Nothing is sent to a server or written to storage.

Should I use this for production secrets?

The randomness is strong, but the rest of the pipeline matters too. Store secrets in your secret manager, never commit them to source control, and rotate them if they are ever shared in chat, tickets or screenshots.

🎓 Pro Tips

  • Tip 1: Generate the secret where it will be used and paste it straight into your secret store, instead of copying it through chat or email.
  • Tip 2: For a token that will appear in a URL, choose the URL-safe set so it needs no percent-encoding.
  • Tip 3: Keep at least 128 bits of entropy for anything that grants access. Check the bit count the tool shows.
