🪙 Coin Flip
Flip a coin online — heads or tails, instantly and fairly.
About this generator
A coin flip is the oldest and simplest way to settle a tie, choose who goes first or make a quick yes-or-no decision. This online coin flip gives you heads or tails at the press of a button, with each result completely independent of the last, so you can use it any time you don't have a coin handy.
The result comes from your browser's secure random number generator and each side has an exactly equal chance. A real coin can have very slight biases depending on how it's flipped, but a digital flip has no such issues, which makes it a good choice when you want a truly fair 50/50 outcome.
A neat trick for hard decisions: assign an option to heads and another to tails, flip, and notice how you feel when you see the result. If you're hoping for the other side, you already know what you want. For best-of-three or best-of-five tiebreakers, simply flip more than once and count the results.
FAQ
Is the coin flip fair?
Yes. Heads and tails each have an exact 50% chance, and every flip is independent of the last.
Does a previous result affect the next one?
No. Getting heads five times in a row doesn't make tails more likely next time.
Can I use it for important decisions?
It's fine for fun and minor choices. For serious decisions, use it as a prompt to check how you feel about the result.
How do I do a best of three?
Flip three times and see which side wins most often.
