NanoID-style short IDs using unbiased rejection sampling on crypto random bytes. Default 21 chars โ 126 bits of entropy.
About the Nano ID Generator
Generate NanoID-style short identifiers with a selectable alphabet: the standard 64-character set, URL-safe, alphanumeric, hexadecimal or digits only. Length is adjustable from 6 to 64 characters and up to 50 IDs are produced per batch, using unbiased rejection sampling over cryptographic random bytes.
How to use the Nano ID Generator
- Set the ID length โ 21 characters is the NanoID default.
- Pick an alphabet: standard, urlsafe, alphanumeric, hex or digits.
- Choose how many IDs you need, up to 50 per batch.
- Press Generate and copy the list.
Nano ID Generator FAQ
How much randomness does the default size give?
The default 21 characters over the 64-symbol alphabet carry roughly 126 bits of entropy, which is the NanoID convention and comparable to a UUID v4.
What does unbiased sampling mean?
Random bytes are rejected when they would favor earlier alphabet characters, a rejection-sampling technique that keeps every symbol exactly equally likely.
Which alphabet fits which use?
Standard or URL-safe for web identifiers, alphanumeric when symbols cause trouble, hex for case-insensitive systems, and digits when the ID must be numeric.
