Visualizer measures how random your data really is, byte by byte. Paste text or drop any file and it computes ShannonentropyentropyThe unpredictability of a secret, measured in bits. Each added bit doubles the guesses an attacker needs; strength comes from length and randomness, not from obscurity.
(bits per byte, 0-8), a byte frequency histogram (256 bins), a chi-squared uniformity test with p-value, the serial correlation between consecutive bytes, and a Monte Carlo π estimate — the five classic randomness checks from theent test suite.

behind them: a “random-looking” key generated by a weak source can be brute-forced orders of magnitude faster than its length suggests. Feed the tool your generator’s output and the verdict card tells you immediately whether it isexcellent (indistinguishable from noise) or leaking structure. Everything runs 100% client-side — your data never leaves the browser.
How to use it
- Paste text into Data to analyze, or drop any file onto the box (or click Open file). Analysis runs automatically, ~250 ms after you stop typing.
- Read the verdict badge at the top:
excellent,good,suspicious, orlow. - Check the four metric cards: the Shannon

gauge (0-8 bits/byte), chi-squared with pass/fail, Monte Carlo π vs the real π, and serial correlation (0 = independent bytes). - Scan the byte frequency histogram: green bars hug the dashed expected-count line; red bars are over- or under-represented bytes.

Examples
Repeating text is not random
Input: abcabcabcabc… (900 bytes)
Shannon entropy: 1.585 bits/byte (low) — only 3 distinct bytes
Chi-squared: 75900.0 (p=0.0000) — skewed — fail
Serial correlation: -0.5000Good generator output looks like noise
Input: 65,536 bytes from a seeded PRNG (fixed seed 42, mulberry32)
Shannon entropy: 7.9972 bits/byte (excellent)
Chi-squared: 252.1 (df 255, p=0.5389) — uniform — pass
Serial correlation: -0.0083
Monte Carlo π: 3.1272 (actual 3.14159)English text sits in between
Input: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 0123456789 abcdef ABCDEF
Shannon entropy: ≈ 5.1 bits/byte (suspicious)
Histogram: ASCII letters spike green-red; bytes 128-255 nearly absentGood to know
- Verdict scale: > 7.5 bits/byte = excellent, > 6 = good, > 4 = suspicious, ≤ 4 = low. Compressed and encrypted data should always land near 8.
- Small samples lie: chi-squared and Monte Carlo π need thousands of bytes to be meaningful. Short inputs show noisy numbers — that is expected, not a failure.
- Files over 512 KB are analyzed up to that limit (the header line shows when truncation happened); the heatmap shows at most 4,096 blocks.
- Privacy: all analysis is local — nothing is uploaded, no cookies, no accounts. Safe for keys and secrets.
