Random Date Generator - Pick Dates in Any Range

A random date generator picks dates at random within a range you specify. Set a start and end date, and the tool selects unpredictable dates between them. Use it for scheduling experiments, generating test data, or picking random birthdays.

1. Set the range: Enter a start date and end date.
2. Choose quantity: Pick how many random dates you need.
3. Generate: Copy the dates for calendars, spreadsheets, or code.

• Test data: Generate realistic date fields for database testing or QA.
• Random scheduling: Pick surprise dates for events, reviews, or challenges.
• Educational: Create random date problems for math or history exercises.

Use case 1: Database seeding

Generate hundreds of random dates for user registration timestamps in test environments.

Use case 2: Event planning

Pick a random date within a quarter for a surprise team activity.

Use case 3: Test scenarios

Create varied date inputs to test date parsing and validation in forms.

Basic example

Range: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024
Quantity: 1
Output: 2024-07-19

Advanced example

Range: 1990-01-01 – 2000-12-31
Quantity: 5
Output:

1994-03-12
1997-08-25
1991-11-07
1999-02-14
1993-06-30

Start date after end date

Swap your dates if the start is later than the end; the tool may auto-correct or show an error.

Date format mismatch

Output uses ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) by default. Reformat in your spreadsheet if needed.

• Narrow the range to specific months or years for targeted test data.
• Combine with the random number generator for complete timestamp simulation (add random hours/minutes).
• Use the generated dates in the random choice picker to assign them to names.

• Generate random numbers with the random number generator.
• Pick from a list using the random choice picker.
• Create secure random passwords with the password generator.
