Test Card Number Generator

Generate Luhn-valid test card numbers with correct brand prefixes and lengths for payment-form testing, plus a validator that checks any number. All local, all free.

For developer & QA testing only. These numbers are mathematically valid, they pass the Luhn checksum and use real brand prefixes, but they are NOT real cards: they aren't linked to any account, can't make purchases, and can't be charged. That checksum-and-prefix similarity is exactly why payment sandboxes and test gateways accept them for form validation. Using generated numbers for real transactions is fraud, and it won't work anyway.

Checked locally with the Luhn algorithm, numbers never leave your browser.

Why do these numbers “work” in test forms?

Card forms usually validate three things before talking to a bank: the brand prefix (IIN, e.g. Visa starts with 4, Amex with 34/37), the length (15 for Amex, 14 for Diners, 16 for most), and the Luhn checksum, a mod-10 digit invented in 1954 to catch typos. This tool generates numbers that satisfy all three, which is why sandboxes and front-end validators accept them. A real charge still requires an issuing bank to recognize the account, which these numbers don't have. Free forever, runs offline.
