Maze Generator
There are many maze generators online, from single-purpose pages to full puzzle-book toolkits. They differ more than you might expect. This checklist covers the points that matter for the common uses (worksheets, books, games, decoration) and notes how this tool handles each.
Outlines and cell shapes
At minimum you want rectangular mazes with square cells. Circular, triangular and hexagonal outlines, and hexagonal or triangular cells, give a book or a classroom variety. This generator offers four outlines and four cell styles (square, hex, triangle and polar), which can be combined freely except that polar cells apply only to circles.
Algorithms
A single algorithm gives every maze the same texture. Having several, and a way to bias corridor length, is what lets you tune difficulty rather than just size. Four algorithms and a twistiness control are available here.
Size limits
Some tools stop at 50 cells; others allow thousands and then freeze. A cap of 150 by 150 (22,500 cells) is enough for any printed page and still draws in well under a second.
Export formats
SVG is the format to insist on for print. PNG is convenient for web and slides. A print button that outputs only the maze saves fiddling. All three are provided, and files are generated in the browser with no upload.
Solutions
An answer key should be one click away and exportable as a separate file. Here the solution is an overlay you can toggle before each download.
Seeds and links
Reproducibility matters for books, classes and competitions. Look for a seed field and a shareable link that captures every setting. Both are built in.
Licensing
This is the point most often overlooked. Several popular generators forbid commercial use of their output or require a paid licence for books. Read the terms before you publish. Mazes generated with this tool are free for personal and commercial use without attribution.
Privacy and dependencies
A generator that runs entirely in the browser does not see what you make, works offline once loaded, and does not need an account. This site loads no external scripts, fonts or trackers and stores nothing on a server; your settings never leave the page, and the share link is built from them on the spot.
Accessibility
Adjustable line thickness and colours are needed for young or low-vision solvers. Both are adjustable here, and the interface works with a keyboard.
