FAQs about Random Date Generator

What format are the dates in?

Dates are output in ISO 8601 format: YYYY-MM-DD, for example 2023-07-15.

Does the generator produce valid dates?

Yes. The generator correctly handles month lengths and leap years, so you will never get an invalid date like February 30.

Can I generate dates in the past?

Yes. Set Start Year to any historical year and End Year to the current year or earlier.

How many dates can I generate at once?

Up to 500 dates at a time.

Are the dates uniformly distributed?

Dates are generated by picking a random timestamp within the range, so they are approximately uniformly distributed across the range.
