FAQ

Random Number Between 1 and 20: your questions answered

How do I get a random number between 1 and 20?

Press Generate. The tool is already set to 1 as the lowest number and 20 as the highest, and it returns one whole number from your device’s secure random generator. Each of the 20 possible numbers has exactly the same 5% chance.

Is 1 to 20 inclusive? Can I get 1 and 20 themselves?

Yes. Both ends are included, so 1 and 20 can each come up, with the same chance as every number in between.

Is a random number between 1 and 20 the same as rolling a d20?

Yes. A fair 20-sided die gives each number from 1 to 20 a 5% chance, exactly like this generator. The Dice Roller adds extras such as modifiers and advantage or disadvantage.

Can I get decimals or negative numbers instead?

Yes. Switch “Type” to Decimal to choose up to 20 decimal places, or change the limits to any range, including negative numbers such as -50 to 50.

Is the number really random, and do you keep it?

The number comes from your browser’s cryptographically secure random generator and is chosen with a method that gives every number exactly the same chance. It is created on your device, never sent to us and never stored.

Private by design. No accounts, no cookies, no tracking. Everything you generate stays on your device.
