Generate Random Trees
Grow a procedural, recursively branching tree with random angles. Runs entirely in your browser, so your data never leaves your device.
Output
The result appears here as you type.
How to use Generate Random Trees
- 1. Set the canvas size. Enter Width and Height to size the drawing area in pixels, giving the tree more or less vertical and horizontal room to branch.
- 2. Set the branch depth. Enter Branch depth to control how many recursive splits the tree grows through. A shallow depth gives a simple sapling, a deep one grows a dense, detailed crown.
- 3. Review the rendered tree. The tool draws a recursively branching tree with randomized branch angles as an SVG image. Regenerate to see a new shape, or download the result.
When to use Generate Random Trees
Generate Random Trees grows a procedural, recursively branching tree with randomized angles at each split, rendered as SVG art. Use it whenever you want organic branching visuals or a live example of recursive drawing logic.
- Demonstrating recursive algorithms. You are teaching how recursion builds complex structures from simple repeated rules, and a branching tree is a classic visual example students can immediately understand.
- Decorative art for a nature-themed page. A page about forests or hiking trails needs a lightweight vector tree illustration. Generating one at your chosen branch depth gives you scalable art that loads fast.
- Testing an SVG path rendering pipeline. You are checking how your renderer handles many connected path segments at varying nesting depth, so you generate trees at increasing Branch depth to stress test it.
- Exploring fractal branching patterns. You are curious how randomized branch angles change the overall silhouette of a recursive structure, and regenerating the tree repeatedly shows the range of shapes possible.

About the Generate Random Trees tool
Generate Random Trees does its work locally, right in the browser. Grow a procedural, recursively branching tree with random angles. 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 Branch depth, 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
Does Generate Random Trees cost anything?
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?
No data leaves your device. The whole tool is JavaScript that runs inside your browser tab, so there is no upload, no server-side processing and no log of what you did. If you disconnect from the internet after the page loads, it keeps working.
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?
Nothing to install and no account needed. Open the page in any up-to-date browser, including on a phone or tablet, and the tool is ready.
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.
