What is the Luhn algorithm?

The Luhn algorithm (also called the modulus 10 algorithm) is a simple checksum formula used to validate credit card numbers and other identification numbers. It helps detect transcription errors and invalid numbers. Our generator creates numbers that pass this validation.

Are these real credit card numbers?

No, these are NOT real credit card numbers. They are mathematically valid (pass Luhn algorithm checks) but are not associated with any real accounts or financial institutions. They are generated for testing and development purposes only.

Can I use these card numbers for actual purchases?

Absolutely not. These card numbers are generated for testing purposes only and will not work for real transactions. They are structurally valid but not connected to any real payment system or bank account.

What's the difference between the card types?

Different card types have different number patterns: Visa starts with 4 (16 digits), Mastercard starts with 5 (16 digits), AMEX starts with 3 (15 digits), Discover starts with 6 (16 digits). Generic creates any valid pattern. Choose based on your testing requirements.

Why include expiry dates and CVV codes?

Including expiry dates and CVV codes allows for more complete payment form testing. Many payment systems require these additional fields, so including them helps test the full payment processing workflow.

Is my data secure when using this credit card generator?

Absolutely. All credit card generation happens entirely in your browser - no data is sent to servers or stored anywhere. Your privacy and security are fully protected. The tool uses client-side JavaScript for complete data isolation.
