How To Use Bitaddress To Generate Bitcoin Wallet Addresses From An Existing Private Key Or Seed Phrase

On the Generator app, select Wallet Details from the tab, and enter your details directly in the input field. When you submit a Bitcoin wallet private key, the following are generated:

• Standard Bitcoin address & corresponding QR code,
• Compressed format & corresponding QR code,
• Public keys (standard 130 characters [0-9A-F] & compressed 66 characters [0-9A-F]).

If you submit a mnemonic seed/master seed/recovery phrase, in an attempt to create a new bitcoin wallet or create backup keys for your existing wallet, the corresponding private keys will be generated for you in the following formats:

• Private Key WIF (51 characters base58, starts with a '5' WIF format),
• Private Key WIF Compressed (52 characters base58, starts with a 'K' or 'L'),
• Private Key Hexadecimal Format (64 characters [0-9A-F]),
• Private Key Base64 (44 characters).

For other usages (including single wallet generation, bulk wallets generation, brain wallet generation, et cetera), please select the appropriate label from the menu tab in the Bitcoin wallet address generator app

Note that the wallet generation options—'Single Wallet', 'Paper Wallet', 'Bulk Wallet', 'Vanity Wallet', and 'Split Wallet'—rely on a process called entropy generation, which ensures the security and randomness of your Bitcoin keys. This is achieved using the seeder pool, which collects random data from your mouse movements or other interactions. Before you can select and generate any of these wallets, the seeder pool must reach 100% completion. Once this level is achieved, the tabs will become clickable, allowing you to proceed with your wallet generation securely.
