Generate a random date

Set the range, draw a date

Choose a start date and an end date, then draw a random day in between — shown with the weekday spelled out. Both bounds are included, and if the start and end dates are the wrong way round they are corrected automatically.

What a random date is good for

Whether it's a spontaneous idea for a meetup, a random promo day for a raffle, or sample date values for testing — the generator gives you a fair date in seconds, backed by the browser's random generator. You can copy the result with a single click.

Narrow the range and draw your date

The generator always works within the bounds you set yourself. You pick a start date and an end date, and the tool chooses a day at random from that span. Both bounds count, so the first and the last day of your range can be drawn too.

• Set tight bounds if you only want to cover one particular month.
• Open the range up across several years if you prefer more spread.
• Copy the result straight away to reuse it elsewhere.

The date appears with its day, month and year plus the matching weekday. That weekday is especially handy when you want to see immediately whether a randomly drawn day falls on a weekend or a working day.

Real situations for a random date

A randomly chosen date helps wherever you have no preference for a particular day. Planning a get-together with friends, for example, you can leave the decision to chance and cut endless discussion short. A drawn cut-off date also works well for a fair raffle, because nobody can influence it in advance.

In technical work you often need sample data to check forms or processes. A randomly generated date gives you realistic test values without having to invent anything yourself. Because the bounds are freely adjustable, you can match the range exactly to your use case, whether that's a historical window or the coming weeks. That way you quickly get a usable date that fits the task at hand and contains no hidden patterns.
