Bitcoin Paper Wallet Generator V4 - Open Source Client-side
Secure random number generation requires that you provide some unpredictable data, also called "entropy".

If you are making a paper wallet for a vanity address, or duplicating an existing paper wallet:
In this case, simply enter private key in Wallet Import Format (or scan it using the "validate" feature on this web page.) WIF keys always begin with the number 5 and look something like this: '5JnwJNC7q3...' The public address, e.g. '1vanityABC456...' is automatically calculated using the private key, so you only need to provide the private key. If you want to roll dice or shuffle a deck of cards to generate a key:
Maybe you don't trust that this software (or computers in general) can generate sufficiently random numbers. In this case, you can supply your own random data points from virtually any source. For example, you can roll a six sided die at least 62 times and enter each roll in sequence, e.g. '15249385616...' Or, you can mix up a deck of 52 playing cards (shuffle at least 10 times!) and enter at least the top 31 cards in this format: 5S10HAC-... (where 5S = 5 of Spades, 10H = 10 of Hearts, AC = Ace of Clubs, etc.)
No special formatting is required. Just type in a great deal of (truly) random text from any source, and whatever you supply will be SHA256 hashed and converted into a private key and public address. If you want to make a paper wallet which can also be accessed using a passphrase (AKA a "brain wallet"):
You can make a so-called "brain wallet" by supplying a VERY secure passphrase like '1852 Adobe Cloud SMASH fuzzy steamzonk'. Be extremely careful doing this because a wallet generated using an insecure passphrase is virtually guaranteed to have its balance stolen!.
The resulting paper wallet will still have an ordinary crypto-looking private key and public address, but you will also be able to retrieve your wallet contents by entering your passphrase into the 'verify' tab of this service or a similar service.
Note: supplying a brain wallet passphrase is different from BIP38-encrypting your wallet with a passphrase.

BIP38 Encrypt
About "BIP38" Encryption
The advantage with BIP38 is that if your paper wallet is stolen or compromised, the private key cannot be recovered without your password. Even a very short password adds a strong degree of protection. However, if you encrypt your private key with BIP38 and you lose your password, it will be impossible for you to recover the funds you have sent to this wallet.
Also, note that not all Bitcoin wallet applications or web services are able to import or "sweep" BIP38 encrypted keys. In this case, you will have to use the Validate or Decrypt feature on this webpage to reveal the unencrypted Wallet Import Format (WIF) key as an intermediate step before sweeping the balance.
WARNING: Before sending any funds to a BIP38-encrypted wallet, first do a test make sure you are able to decrypt the printed private key back to ordinary WIF format.
Unless you have a strong understanding of the BIP38 encryption and decryption workflow, click cancel, print your paper wallet without BIP38, and just keep it safe and hidden like you would jewels or cash.

Do not forget it! It cannot be recovered if you lose it.
Do not share Private key !It should never be shared publicly because it controls access to your funds.
Make a backup! Secure it, like banknotes, one day they will be worth millions of dollars

Or you can set up a local web server (Apache) and run this generator via https://bitnet-io.org/paper... or, give up and just use Firefox.
DON'T MOVE QR CODE AND SCAN IS AUTOMATIC
This feature works for private keys made here as well as those generated using any other Bitcoin service or software, e.g. bitaddress.org or brainwallet.org
Enter or scan any private key to verify that the key is valid and show its corresponding public key. If your private key validates, then you may be reassured that you will able to retrieve any funds sent to that wallet.
To duplicate or BIP38-encrypt any paper wallet, just validate its private key and click the "Use these details to print a paper wallet" button.
Is your wallet BIP38 encrypted? If so, you can use this form to decrypt your private key and recover the standard Wallet Import Format (WIF) key suitable for wallet software and services that don't directly support BIP38 importing.
You may also type in a "brain wallet" passphrase to see the corresponding SHA256 hashed keys.
UNLOCKED ! NOW YOU CAN LOAD YOUR PAPER WALLET

Check Balance
Use the Public Address to receive funds or check your balance online. The Private Key WIF is a code that needs to be keep secret since it can be used to spend any funds that have been sent to the corresponding public key. Keys can be encoded in a number of different formats. The most popular encoding formats (WIF, WIFC, HEX, B64) are shown below.
Public Key (130 characters [0-9A-F]):
Public Key (compressed, 66 characters [0-9A-F]):
Private Key WIF(SECRET)
51 characters base58, starts with a '5'
51 characters base58, starts with a '5'
Private Key WIF Compressed
