A BIP-39 mnemonic is a list of words used as input to a wallet’s key-derivation process. BIP39 Mnemonic generates an English phrase and shows its entropy and derived seed using an empty optional passphrase. It can check the word list and checksum of a phrase, but cannot verify ownership of any wallet.
Try with a disposable phrase only
Leave Entropy on 128 bits · 12 words and click Generate. Mnemonic should contain 12 space-separated English words; Entropy (hex) and Seed (hex, empty passphrase) fill in. The words will differ every time. For this throwaway phrase only, paste the words into Validate a mnemonic. The status should read Valid mnemonic. Replacing a word may produce Not a valid mnemonic, but a valid checksum alone does not prove that a particular wallet or balance exists.
Never use a tutorial phrase to hold funds. Anyone who sees the mnemonic or derived seed can potentially access the associated wallet. Copying puts it on your clipboard, and this page offers no offline-wallet setup, secure backup, or way to enter a BIP-39 passphrase for seed derivation. Do not paste an existing wallet’s recovery phrase into this page.

Questions you might have
- Is it safe to generate a wallet seed in a browser?
- The entropy comes from crypto.getRandomValues, so the randomness is real. The risk is the page and the machine, not the maths. For anything holding real value, generate offline on a machine you control.
- Why does it reject my phrase?
- The last word carries a checksum. If one word was mistyped the checksum fails and the phrase is rejected, which is the feature working as intended.
