Credit Card Number Validator (Luhn)
The Credit Card Number Validator checks whether a card number passes the Luhn algorithm, the checksum formula used by Visa, Mastercard, Amex and other issuers to catch typos.
It's a handy developer tool for sanity-checking test data or debugging payment form validation -- nothing you type is sent anywhere.
How to Use the Credit Card Number Validator (Luhn)
- Open the Credit Card Number Validator.
- Type or paste a card number.
- See instantly whether it passes the Luhn checksum.
- Check the likely card network shown alongside the result.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a valid result mean the card is real?
No. This only checks the mathematical Luhn checksum, which is a format check -- it does not verify that a card exists, is active, or has funds.
Is this safe to use with a real card number?
The check runs entirely in your browser and nothing is transmitted, but as a general rule you should avoid typing real card numbers into any tool you don't need to.
