Free online random matrix generator. Supports both integer and decimal matrices with customizable rows, columns and value ranges. Heatmap visualization provides intuitive insight into value distribution. Supports grid and math notation display. All processing is done locally in your browser.
Tips & Tricks
Adjust and Generate Instantly
The matrix auto-regenerates after adjusting any parameter such as rows, columns, or value ranges — no need to manually click "Generate". What you see is what you get; quickly try different dimension and range combinations.
Intuitive Heatmap
The heatmap uses a blue-to-red gradient to represent the distribution from low to high values. At a glance, you can see where values cluster and where they are sparse — ideal for data analysis presentations and educational demonstrations.
Two Display Formats
Heatmap Grid mode is great for visually observing value distribution, while Math Format `[a, b, c]` is ideal for copying into code or documents. One-click copy all content to clipboard is supported.

FAQ
How do I read the matrix heatmap?
Each cell's background color represents its relative value within the matrix. Blue indicates lower values, red indicates higher values, with transitional colors in between. Uncheck "Show Heatmap" to display all cells with a white background showing plain text.
What's the difference between integer and decimal matrices?
Integer mode generates random integers within the specified range (e.g., integers between 0 and 100), suitable for indices, counting, or discrete data. Decimal mode generates floating-point numbers with one decimal place, suitable for statistics, measurements, or continuous data simulation.
How do I switch between the two display formats?
In the control panel's "Display Format" section, select "Heatmap Grid" to view values visually, or "Math Format" to display as [1.2, 3.4, 5.6] format. Math format is suitable for copying directly into code or documents.
Are the generated numbers truly random?
This tool uses the browser's Math.random() to generate pseudo-random numbers, suitable for everyday teaching, testing, and demonstration purposes. All computation is done locally in the browser; data is never uploaded to a server.
