Are these chargeable?

No. The numbers pass the Luhn checksum and match brand prefixes, but they are not provisioned to any real account.

Will they work in Stripe or other sandboxes?

The well-known sandbox numbers (like 4242 4242 4242 4242) are included verbatim and will work in their respective test modes. Random Luhn-valid numbers will not.

What about expiry and CVV?

Expiry is a random future date; CVV is 3 digits (4 for Amex). These exist to populate form fields and are not validated by any sandbox.

Yes. No external API is called.

Quick Start

How to use test cards

Card numbers carry a final Luhn check digit. The brand is identified by prefix and length. Sandbox gateways like Stripe accept specific numbers — useful for simulating success vs decline.

01
Pick a brand
Visa, Mastercard, Amex (15 digits), or Discover.
Inputs are treated as UTF-8 throughout the pipeline and validated client-side as you type — nothing dispatches until the value is well-formed.

02
Sandbox vs mint
Sandbox = known gateway numbers; mint = fresh Luhn-valid digits.
Each toggle re-computes through a memoised hook, so flipping options never resets your input and the UI stays snappy on large inputs.

Generate
Up to 100 cards in one batch with synthetic expiry and CVV.
Randomness — where used — comes from crypto.getRandomValues, never Math.random. Heavy work sits in useMemo.

Copy writes through navigator.clipboard and downloads use a Blob — zero network traffic. Same input plus same options always yield the same bytes.

Pro tips

Pro tips for everyday utilities

Reach for crypto.getRandomValues

Cryptographically random for IDs, tokens, salts. Math.random is for animation and games, not security.

Sort IDs lexicographically

UUID v4 has no time ordering. Use ULID or UUID v7 if you need sorted IDs.

Mock data with seeds

Faker-style libraries can be seeded so tests are reproducible. Embed the seed in the fixture file.

Reference cards beat memory

Cheatsheets for Vim, Git, Docker, Linux signals are faster than man pages when you’re mid-flow.

Browser APIs vary

Touch events, gamepads, and clipboard differ across vendors. Feature-detect before use.

Persist in the right place

localStorage for user preferences, sessionStorage for transient state, IndexedDB for structured data.

Use Cases

When to use test cards

Checkout QA, gateway integration, payment demos.

Checkout QA

Test payment flows with cards that always succeed. Random values come from crypto.getRandomValues — cryptographically secure for tokens, salts, and session IDs. Math.random is deterministic enough for animations but predictable enough to be a security bug.

CSPRNG-backed

Gateway integration

Stripe/Adyen sandbox testing with known decline triggers. Pair with hashids, ULID, or UUID v7 when you need both random and sortable — useful for primary keys, public-facing IDs, and event log ordering without a sequence column.

reproducible

Form validation

Bulk numbers stress-test Luhn validators. Output is deterministic given the same seed, so fixtures and tests stay reproducible across CI runs and contributor machines. Embed the seed in the fixture file for full replay.

snappy

PCI training

Talk through PCI rules without real PANs. Heavy work runs through useMemo so the UI stays snappy on large inputs. Same input + same options yields identical bytes — the kind of stability snapshot tests rely on.

feature-detected

Demo videos

Show a working checkout without doxing a real card. Storage tools persist to the right backend: localStorage for user preferences, sessionStorage for transient state, IndexedDB for structured data. Pick the right shelf and quota worries disappear.

deterministic

Brand recognition

Test that your UI shows the right brand logo per prefix. Browser feature detection: clipboard, fullscreen, gamepad, and Web Bluetooth APIs gracefully fall back when unavailable. No surprise white screens on Safari or older Firefox.

production-ready

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these real cards?

No. Numbers pass Luhn validation but are not provisioned with any issuer. They will never charge a real account.

What's Luhn?

A simple checksum: double every second digit from the right, sum digits, total mod 10 = 0. Catches most single-digit typos.

Why include sandbox numbers?

Stripe and other gateways assign specific numbers to specific outcomes (succeed, decline, fraud). They make end-to-end test scenarios deterministic.

Is Amex actually 15 digits?

Yes — Amex cards are 15 digits with a 4-digit CVV. Visa/MC/Discover are 16 with a 3-digit CVV.

Does it run locally?

Yes — numbers are minted in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
