Coin Flip

Coin Flip — Heads or Tails, Instantly

Can't decide? Flip a virtual coin and let chance settle it. One click gives you heads or tails, and the tool keeps score of your flips so you can see how randomness plays out.

How to Flip a Coin

Click Flip the coin. The coin spins for about half a second and lands on HEADS or TAILS. Beneath it you'll see running totals for heads, tails, and total flips, plus a strip showing your last 20 results as H and T. Click Reset stats to start again from zero. Your tallies aren't saved, so they clear when you leave or reload the page.

Is It Really 50/50?

Each flip is decided by your browser's random number generator with an equal chance of heads and tails, and every flip is independent of the ones before it. That means streaks are perfectly normal: six heads in a row happens about once in 64 tries, and over 100 flips you'll see a run of five or more of the same side more than nine times in ten. A short session rarely splits exactly in half, and the balance only settles closer to 50/50 as the number of flips grows — but a tail is never "due" just because heads has come up a lot.

Good Uses for This Tool

Making quick either-or decisions, choosing who goes first in a game, settling friendly disagreements, running coin-toss probability experiments in a classroom, and adding a bit of chance to a game or a challenge.

Is It Actually Private?

Yes. The flips happen in your browser — nothing is sent to a server or stored.
