Frequently asked questions
Are the start and end dates included?
Yes. Both the From and To dates can be picked. A range from 2026-01-01 to 2026-01-01 always returns January 1, and a full year range has 365 (or 366) possible days.
How does Exclude weekends work?
Saturdays and Sundays are removed before the pick, so every remaining weekday has the same chance. Public holidays are not removed because they differ by country; delete them from the list if you need to.
Can I generate many random dates at once?
Up to 100 per click. Keep No repeats ticked for unique dates (the count is capped at the days available), or untick it to allow the same date twice. Tick Sort by date for a calendar-ordered list.
Which date formats are supported?
ISO (2026-10-19), US (10/19/2026), EU (19/10/2026) and a long form with the weekday. The CSV download always contains all three numeric formats plus the weekday, so spreadsheets in any region can read it.
Is the pick truly random and fair?
Each eligible day has an equal chance. Dates are counted as whole calendar days, so time zones and daylight-saving changes cannot shift the result or drop the last day of the range.
What can I use random dates for?
Test data, sampling days for an audit or survey, picking a surprise date night, scheduling a random spot check, choosing a historical date for a quiz, or seeding a spreadsheet.
