Introduction:
Random integers underpin fair selection in games, raffles, audits, and simulations. Your generator quickly produces numbers by using a cryptographically strong browser-based source, eliminating bias and repetition errors. Because everything runs locally, no external service can influence the draw. Results are logged instantly so you can inspect frequency and spot anomalies later.
Each draw evaluates user-defined minimum, maximum, and quantity values, then repeats the selection loop until all constraints, including optional no-repeat safety, are satisfied. Draw history persists between sessions with URL parameters, letting you bookmark exact configurations or share reproducible setups effortlessly. Statistics and histograms update after every change to reveal distribution trends.
Use this tool when you need transparent, verifiable numbers for prize draws, classroom activities, or load-testing scripts. Share the exported CSV or JSON if participants request an audit trail. Pin the URL parameters to ensure everyone recreates identical settings during independent verification. Always verify your input range before public announcements to avoid disputes.
Technical Details:
The interface listens for form events, computes random integers with the browser’s cryptographic generator, and marshals data into an in-memory store synchronised with query-string parameters. A lightweight charting layer visualises frequency data without server calls, guaranteeing full offline capability and instant feedback.
URL Parameter Persistence
Your chosen minimum, maximum, quantity, and no-repeat settings serialize into the address bar, enabling bookmarking or sharing of identical configurations with a single link.
No-Repeat Guard
Activate the switch to prevent any value from appearing twice until you manually reset the history, ensuring fair distribution in classroom quizzes or raffle draws.
Batch Generation
Set quantity above one to produce multiple integers per click, useful for lottery picks, randomized load-test datasets, or assigning group numbers in workshops.
Live Statistics
Mean, median, minimum, maximum, and duplicate counts update immediately alongside a bar histogram, letting you monitor randomness quality as the history grows.
One-Click Export
Export your history to CSV or JSON with embedded file headers, then copy the latest value to the clipboard for instant use in spreadsheets or chat.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Follow these steps to create a transparent random draw:
- Enter a lower bound in the Minimum field.
- Enter an upper bound in the Maximum field.
- Click Advanced to reveal extra options.
- Adjust Quantity / draw or toggle No repeat until reset.
- Press the Generate Number button to create your result.
- Check Latest Number and review the History list for context.
- Use Copy, Export CSV, or Export JSON for sharing or storage.
FAQ:
Find quick answers to common questions:
Is my data stored?
No. All values stay in your browser and clear when you reset or close the tab.
Can I generate decimals?
No. The tool produces whole numbers to maintain integer fairness.
What if Minimum exceeds Maximum?
The generate button disables until you correct the range, preventing invalid draws.
How do I share settings?
Copy the page URL; it contains all parameters for others to replicate the draw.
Why do I see duplicates?
Duplicates appear when the range is small or quantity high. Enable the no-repeat option to avoid this.
Troubleshooting:
Resolve typical issues quickly:
- Button disabled — Ensure Minimum is lower than Maximum and Quantity is at least one.
- History not scrolling — Add more than six draws; the list auto-scrolls only when overflow occurs.
- Chart not visible — Open the Stats tab to trigger rendering.
- Copied label sticks — Wait one second; it resets automatically.
- Unexpected duplicates — Enable No repeat until reset to guarantee uniqueness per session.
Advanced Tips:
Enhance your draws with expert techniques:
- Bookmark parameterised URLs for recurring classroom activities.
- Combine batches and exports to seed test datasets programmatically.
- Resize the browser window after switching tabs to refresh the histogram grid.
- Use keyboard shortcuts to highlight and copy results faster.
- Clear history between rounds to reset probability distribution.
