How to use Generate Random Squares
- 1. Set the canvas size. Enter Width and Height to size the drawing area in pixels, giving the scattered squares more or less room to spread across the field.
- 2. Set how many squares to draw. Enter How many squares to control how densely the field is filled, each square drawn at a random size, position, and color.
- 3. Review the rendered field. The tool draws the field of squares as an SVG image. Regenerate to see a new arrangement, or download the SVG for use elsewhere.
When to use Generate Random Squares
Generate Random Squares scatters squares of varying size, position, and color across a canvas as SVG art, useful whenever you want a simple geometric texture without the variety of full mixed-shape art.
- Grid-style background texture. You want a colorful grid-like texture for a section background and generating a field of random squares gives you a consistent geometric look at any dimension.
- Testing a bounding box rendering path. You are checking how your rendering pipeline handles many independent bounded rectangles at once, so you generate a large field of squares to stress test layout performance.
- Sketching a pixel-art style mockup. A design concept calls for blocky, squared-off visuals. Generating a field of squares at varying sizes gives you a rough starting composition to iterate on.
- Filling a game board placeholder texture. You are prototyping a puzzle game's background and want a busy field of colored squares to stand in before the final tile art is designed.

About the Generate Random Squares tool
Generate Random Squares does its work locally, right in the browser. Scatter random squares of varying size, position, and color. There is no upload step, no queue and no account, and your data never travels over the network.
It belongs to the Random Tools collection on EditSafely, a set of 120 small, focused Random utilities that share the same instant, private workspace.
You can shape the output with 3 settings, including Width, Height and How many squares, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Running locally also makes the tool fast and dependable: results appear as you type or drop a file, there is no server outage that can take it down mid-task, and confidential data can be processed without a second thought.
Frequently asked questions
Is Generate Random Squares free to use?
Yes, it is completely free. All 2,658 tools on EditSafely work without an account, a subscription or usage limits.
Does the generator send anything to a server?
Everything happens locally. Your browser downloads the tool's code once, then does all the processing itself; nothing you enter is transmitted, stored or logged. You can even go offline after the page loads and it will still work.
How do I get a different result?
Run the generator again. Each run is computed fresh on your device, and any options you change are applied to the next result immediately.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. The tool works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone. There is no account to create, no extension to add and no software to install.
Can I save what the tool produces?
Yes. Use the download or copy controls in the output panel to keep the rendered result once it looks the way you want.
