About the Luhn algorithm

The Luhn algorithm (ISO/IEC 7812-1) is a checksum used by credit cards, IMEI numbers, and some national IDs. Passing the check means the number is internally consistent — it does not mean the card has been issued, is active, or has funds available.

Tool Introduction

Tool Overview

The Luhn algorithm is the same checksum used by banks, IMEI numbers, and some national IDs. Passing the check means the digits are internally consistent — it does not mean the card has been issued, is active, or has funds. This tool runs entirely in your browser so numbers never leave your device. Use it for test data, QA, and to build intuition about how card numbers are structured.

Handle security workflows directly in the browser with no install required.
Support SEO long-tail intent by covering quick checks, troubleshooting, and one-off conversions.

FAQ

Does this check whether the card is real?+

No. It only verifies the structural checksum. Real validation requires a payment gateway.

What brand lookup is used?+

A static table of Issuer Identification Number (IIN) prefixes and valid lengths for Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, Diners, UnionPay, and Maestro.

Is my card number sent anywhere?+

No. Everything runs entirely client-side. Still, avoid pasting real cards on any site.
