How does a coin toss work?

Flip a coin is perfect for making decisions, playing games, or just for fun! Simple and sleek coin flip animation with sound effects. When you flip a coin, it can land on heads or tails. The side with the number is heads, and the side with the symbol is tails. Our online coin toss has a fair 50/50 chance of coming up. This random process of flipping a coin can help make fair choices when you have two options.

Is the outcome random?

Yes. We use a cryptographic function (crypto.getRandomValues) to prevent manipulation and ensure randomness each time, so there will be no pattern favoring heads or tails.

What if there are more than two players?

Heads or tails works best for two players. If you have more players, try using our dice roller. Each side can represent a player, and we offer up to a 20-sided dice option in the top-left menu.

Why use a virtual coin?

You can flip a virtual coin anytime and be sure it is random. It’s free, requires no sign-up, and saves you from searching for a real coin. It’s a quick way to decide who goes first in a game, or to pick quickly between two ideas.
