Frequently asked questions
How many books can I generate at once?
Use the quantity control to draw anywhere from one up to the full list. Turn on unique to avoid repeats.
Is the selection actually random?
Yes. Picks use the browser's crypto RNG rather than a predictable shuffle, so results aren't weighted or ordered.
Does it work on mobile?
It does — the generator is fully responsive and works the same on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Can I use these results commercially?
Yes — the results are yours to use however you like, including in projects, games and content.
