Example

Input: Number of Coins 1, then Flip

Result: H (heads) or T (tails), each with a 50% chance, added to the Total Flips, Heads/Tails percentages and History

Each flip uses a fresh random value, so earlier results never influence the next one. Over many flips the heads percentage drifts toward 50%.

Odds of Every Coin Landing the Same Way

Chance of all heads is 1 in 2 to the power of the number of coins, rounded to 2 decimals. The same odds apply to heads in a row.

  1. Choose how many coins to flip, from 1 to 9.
  2. Click the "Flip" button to toss the coins.
  3. Read the result - H for heads or T for tails - when the animation stops.
  4. Check the Statistics panel for your running heads and tails totals.
  5. Click "Flip" again for a new toss, or use Clear to reset the history and totals.

Heads or Tails: How a Fair Coin Flip Works

This coin flipper gives you heads or tails with an exact 50/50 chance on every toss. Press Flip, watch the coin spin for a moment, and the answer appears.

You can toss 1 to 9 coins at once. Each coin gets its own fresh random number, so one coin never affects another. The Statistics panel keeps a running count of total flips, heads, tails and the heads to tails ratio, with percentages. The History list shows your last 20 flips and the time of each one. Clear wipes the history and the totals so you can start again.

A fair coin has no memory. If you just got five heads in a row, the next flip is still 50/50. Streaks feel odd, but they are normal. Flip 9 coins at once and the chance that every one shows heads is 1 in 512. Runs of three or four in a row, though, turn up all the time in a long session. Over hundreds of flips the heads share drifts toward 50%, yet it rarely lands on exactly 50%.

A coin toss works best for small choices where both options are fine, like who goes first or where to eat. It also makes a neutral tiebreaker, since nobody can argue with the coin. Need more than two outcomes? Roll a Dice handles dice from d4 to d100 and custom sizes, and the Decision Wheel Spinner picks from your own list of options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Each coin gets its own number from the secure random source built into your browser. Half of the possible values mean heads and half mean tails, so both sides have exactly the same chance. The result never depends on earlier flips, and nothing is sent to a server.
The odds are 1 in 8, or 12.5%. Each flip is 1 in 2, and you multiply the chances together: 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8. Five heads in a row is 1 in 32, and ten in a row is 1 in 1,024. The table on this page shows the odds for 2 to 9 coins.
No. A coin has no memory, so the next flip is still exactly 50/50. Believing a result is "due" after a streak is called the gambler's fallacy. Streaks are simply common: in a long run of flips you will often see four or five of the same side in a row.
You can flip 1 to 9 coins at a time. The result area shows each coin as H or T, plus a count of heads and tails for that flip. The Statistics panel adds every coin to your running totals, and History lists your last 20 flips with the time of each.
A real toss is very close to fair, but it can be nudged by how you throw and catch the coin. A digital flip removes those physical factors, since only the random number decides the side. For a fair call between two people, agree who takes heads before you press Flip.
