Are these real credit card numbers?

No. They are fictional numbers that merely pass the Luhn checksum and use known brand prefixes, so they satisfy client-side validators. They hold no funds and can never be charged.

Why do the numbers pass card validation?

Every number ends in a correctly computed Luhn check digit and starts with a valid brand prefix, which is exactly what front-end validators look for.

Is any data sent anywhere?

No. All numbers are generated in your browser with a cryptographically secure random generator and nothing is transmitted or stored.

What is the Luhn algorithm?

Luhn (mod 10) is the checksum every card number satisfies. Doubling every second digit from the right, summing the digits, and appending a check digit makes the grand total divisible by 10. It catches most single-digit typos.

Can I use these for a real purchase?

No. They are structurally valid but unissued — no bank account backs them. They are only for exercising form validation, UI states, and sandbox flows that do not hit a real processor.

Which brands and lengths are supported?

Visa (16 digits, CVC 3), Mastercard (16 digits, CVC 3), American Express (15 digits, CVC 4) and Discover (16 digits, CVC 3), each built from that brand's real test prefixes.

Should I use these against a payment gateway sandbox?

For provider sandboxes, prefer the official test cards your gateway documents (such as 4242 4242 4242 4242), since gateways accept a specific allow-list. These generic numbers are best for your own front-end validation tests.

Q: Is the randomness secure?

Yes. The body digits come from crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling to avoid modulo bias, then a Luhn check digit is appended.

Test credit card number generator

This tool produces fake, Luhn-valid card numbers for developers and QA engineers who need to exercise payment forms, validation logic, and sandbox checkouts without touching real card data. Pick a brand, choose how many you need, and copy structurally valid numbers complete with a random future expiry and CVC.

How it works

Each number is built from a real test BIN prefix for the chosen brand, padded to the brand’s length with cryptographically random digits (crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling to avoid modulo bias). The final digit is the Luhn (mod 10) check digit: every second digit from the right is doubled (subtracting 9 if over 9), all digits are summed, and the check digit is chosen so the total is divisible by 10 — the same test front-end validators run.

Brand	Prefixes	Length	CVC
Visa	4	16	3
Mastercard	51–55, 2221, 2720	16	3
American Express	34, 37	15	4
Discover	6011, 65	16	3

Example

Choosing Visa might yield 4929 9384 1057 2098 — it starts with 4, is 16 digits, and its last digit satisfies the Luhn checksum, so it passes a typical card-field validator. It is paired with a random expiry like 08/29 and a 3-digit CVC.

These numbers are not real cards: they hold no funds and can never be charged. Everything is generated in your browser and nothing leaves your device.
