Random String Generator

An online tool to generate a random text string of letters, numbers, and special characters.









What is a Random String Generator?

A random string generator or random characters generator is an online tool with which you can easily generate unique and random strings. These strings consist of letters, special characters, and numbers.

You can use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters or choose to use only one of these.

Instead of raking your heads to come up with unique passwords, you can quickly head here and get strong random character strings in a jiffy.

How to Generate a Random String?

Want to generate one or more strings with random characters? Our random number and letter generator has got you covered! Follow these steps to generate unique random strings -

  1. Enter the length/number of characters in the string(s). You can select a number between 5 to 100.
  2. Enter the quantity or number of text strings you want the tool to generate.
  3. Choose the characters you want by selecting the relevant check boxes. You can include numbers (0-9), special characters, lowercase and uppercase letters.
  4. You can also enter a prefix, i.e., any text before the string(s), as per your requirement.
  5. Select the Create button to create a single string or list of strings from the tool.

You can copy one or more resulting strings and use them in your applications or store them in a file for future use.

Applications of a Random String Generator

  1. Creating Strong passwords - most applications, websites, and security settings ask for complex password combinations while creating accounts. A strong password has a good mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Creating and remembering complex password combinations can be avoided by copying results from the random string generators.
  2. Program test inputs - results from our random number and letter generator can be used as inputs to test computer programs written for string computations, such as case conversions, generating ASCII codes of characters, etc.
  3. Assign random gibberish names - assigning random names with a prefix can be helpful when having website guest users with no accounts or usernames.
  4. Random strings for OTPs - a combination of numbers and characters generated by a random string generator, can be used as One-Time passwords when processing transactions.
