Free Online Coin Flip

Flip a virtual coin for a fair heads-or-tails result. The tool keeps a running count of heads and tails so you can see the split.

?

Quick answer

A coin flip tool gives a random heads-or-tails result, each with a 50% chance. This one uses your browser’s secure random generator, so every flip is independent and fair — past results never influence the next flip.

Formula & method

Each flip reads a random value from the browser’s Web Crypto API and maps it to heads or tails with equal probability. Flips are independent: the coin has no memory, so a run of heads doesn’t make tails “due.” A tally tracks your results for the current session only.

Examples

Example 1: Single flip
Input
Flip once
Result
Heads or Tails (50/50)
Why
Each outcome is equally likely and independent.
Example 2: Settling a choice
Input
Heads = option A, Tails = option B
Result
An unbiased pick
Why
Assign each side a meaning before flipping.
Example 3: Many flips
Input
Flip 100 times
Result
Roughly half heads, half tails
Why
The split approaches 50/50 as flips increase.

When to use this tool

  • Settling a quick, low-stakes either/or decision.
  • Picking who goes first in a game.
  • Demonstrating probability and randomness.

Common mistakes

  • Believing in “due” outcomes. After five heads, the next flip is still 50/50.
  • Expecting exactly 50/50 in a small number of flips — short runs are often lopsided.
  • Using a coin flip for decisions that deserve real thought.

Frequently asked questions

＋ Is the coin flip fair?

Yes. Heads and tails each have a 50% chance, and the result uses your browser’s secure random generator, so flips are unbiased and independent.

＋ Are results truly random?

They use the Web Crypto API, which is cryptographically secure — far closer to true randomness than ordinary pseudo-random functions.

＋ Can I flip multiple coins at once?

Yes. You can flip repeatedly and the tally keeps count of heads versus tails for your session.

＋ Does a streak of heads change the odds?

No. Each flip is independent. A long streak is just chance; the next flip is still 50/50.

＋ Is my activity tracked?

No. The tally lives in your browser for the session only and is not uploaded.
