+# BIP39 Tool
+
+A tool for converting BIP39 mnemonic phrases to addresses and private keys.
+
+## Online Version
+
+Coming soon
+
+## Standalone offline version
+
+Download `bip39-standalone.html`
+
+Open the file in a browser by double clicking it.
+
+## Usage
+
+Enter your BIP39 phrase into the 'BIP39 Phrase' field, or press
+'Generate Random Phrase'
+
+If required, set the derivation path, although the defaults are quite usable.
+
+See the table for a list of addresses generated from the phrase.
+
+Toggle columns to blank to easily copy/paste a single column of data, eg to
+import private keys into a wallet or supply someone with a list of addresses.
+
+The BIP32 keys can be used at [bip32.org](https://bip32.org) if desired.
