The Luhn algorithm (mod-10) is a checksum formula used to validate credit card numbers, IMEI numbers, and other identification numbers. It detects single-digit errors and most transpositions of adjacent digits.
This tool processes everything in your browser - no data is ever sent to a server. However, for maximum security, we recommend using test card numbers for development purposes rather than real card numbers.
Absolutely not. This is a mathematical validation tool only. It checks if a number follows the correct format and passes the Luhn checksum. It has no connection to any payment processor.
