Generated IPv6 Addresses

Click "Generate IPv6 Addresses" to create a list of random IPv6 addresses based on your criteria.

About the tool

🌐 Random IPv6 Generator – Create Lists of Random IPv6 Addresses

Need random IPv6 addresses for network testing, development, or educational purposes? The Random IPv6 Generator helps you create lists of random IPv6 addresses with powerful customization options.

This guide explains what a random IPv6 generator is, its uses, and walks you through using our free online Random IPv6 Generator to create customized IPv6 address lists.

📘 What is a Random IPv6 Generator?

A random IPv6 generator is a tool that creates random IP addresses in the IPv6 format (e.g., 2001:db8::1). Each IPv6 address consists of eight 16-bit hexadecimal segments, providing a 128-bit address space that is vastly larger than IPv4.

Our generator allows you to customize the output by excluding reserved/special-use ranges and choosing between compressed or uncompressed format. It also color-codes the results to distinguish between public and various types of reserved IPv6 addresses.

⚙️ How the Random IPv6 Generator Works

Our Random IPv6 Generator creates IPv6 addresses by generating random values for each of the eight 16-bit segments. When you click "Generate", the tool:

  1. Generates random values for each segment (0-65535 in hexadecimal)
  2. Checks if the IP falls within reserved ranges (if filtering is enabled)
  3. Formats the address in compressed or uncompressed format based on your selection
  4. Color-codes the results based on IP type (public, loopback, link-local, etc.)
  5. Displays the results in a clean, easy-to-read format

🧩 Key Features

  • 🔄 Generate 1 to 100 random IPv6 addresses at once
  • 🔒 Option to exclude reserved and special-use IPv6 ranges
  • 🔀 Toggle between compressed and uncompressed IPv6 formats
  • 🎨 Color-coding to distinguish between public and various reserved IPv6 addresses
  • 📋 One-click copy to clipboard functionality (for individual IPs or the entire list)
  • 📥 Export to TXT or CSV file formats
  • 🔐 Client-side only — no data is ever uploaded

💡 Customization Options

Personalize your IPv6 address list with these customization options:

1. Generation Settings

  • Number of IPs: Choose how many IPv6 addresses to generate (1-100)
  • Exclude Reserved Ranges: Filter out special-use IPv6 addresses (::1, fe80::/10, ff00::/8, etc.)

2. Format Options

  • Compressed Format: Use :: notation to represent consecutive zero segments (e.g., 2001:db8::1)
  • Uncompressed Format: Show all eight segments with all four hexadecimal digits (e.g., 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001)

🌟 Practical Applications

🔄 How to Use the Random IPv6 Generator

  1. Set the number of IPv6 addresses you want to generate
  2. Choose whether to exclude reserved and special-use ranges
  3. Select your preferred format (compressed or uncompressed)
  4. Click "Generate IPs" to create your random IPv6 address list
  5. Click on any IPv6 address to copy it to your clipboard
  6. Use "Copy All" to copy the entire list to your clipboard
  7. Use "Export" to download the list as a TXT or CSV file
  8. Click "Clear" to reset the output and start over

📚 Understanding IPv6 Address Types

The generator color-codes IPv6 addresses based on their type:

  • 🟢 Public IPs: Global unicast addresses routable on the public internet
  • 🔵 Unique Local: IPv6 equivalent of private addresses (fc00::/7)
  • 🟣 Link-Local: Addresses for communication within a single network segment (fe80::/10)
  • 🟠 Multicast: Addresses for one-to-many communication (ff00::/8)
  • 🔴 Loopback: The IPv6 loopback address (::1)
  • ⚪ Reserved: Other special-purpose addresses

✅ Tips for Getting the Most Out of the Random IPv6 Generator

  • Use the exclude option when you need only public IPv6 addresses
  • Use compressed format for readability, uncompressed for learning or specific testing
  • Export to CSV when you need both formats for each address
  • Generate a large list and then manually select the most useful IPs
  • Use the color coding to quickly identify different types of IPv6 addresses
  • For GeoIP lookups, copy the address and use a dedicated GeoIP service

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the Random IPv6 Generator free ?

    Yes, Random IPv6 Generator is totally free :)

  • Can i use the Random IPv6 Generator offline ?

    Yes, you can install the webapp as PWA.

  • Is it safe to use Random IPv6 Generator ?

    Yes, any data related to Random IPv6 Generator only stored in your browser(if storage required). You can simply clear browser cache to clear all the stored data. We do not store any data on server.

  • What is a Random IPv6 Generator?

    A Random IPv6 Generator is a tool that creates random IP addresses in the IPv6 format (e.g., 2001:db8::1). IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses that provide a much larger address space than IPv4. This tool is useful for testing network configurations, simulating IPv6 traffic, or generating sample data for development and testing purposes.

  • How does the Random IPv6 Generator work?

    The tool generates random values for each of the eight 16-bit segments in an IPv6 address. You can customize the generation by excluding reserved/special-use ranges and choosing between compressed or uncompressed format. The compressed format uses :: notation to represent consecutive zero segments, while the uncompressed format shows all segments with leading zeros.

  • What are reserved IPv6 addresses?

    Reserved IPv6 addresses are special-purpose addresses that are not meant for general use on the public internet. These include loopback addresses (::1), link-local addresses (fe80::/10), multicast addresses (ff00::/8), unique local addresses (fc00::/7), and documentation addresses (2001:db8::/32).

  • What's the difference between compressed and uncompressed IPv6 format?

    Compressed IPv6 format uses :: notation to represent consecutive zero segments, making addresses shorter and more readable (e.g., 2001:db8::1). Uncompressed format shows all eight segments with all four hexadecimal digits (e.g., 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001). Both formats represent the same address, but compressed is more commonly used for human readability.

  • Can I export the generated IPv6 addresses?

    Yes, you can export the generated IPv6 addresses to a .txt or .csv file for use in other applications. The CSV export includes both the compressed and uncompressed formats for each address, along with its type. You can also copy individual addresses or the entire list to your clipboard.
