Using third-party services to generate paper wallets should be avoided without proper code auditing by independent entities.
Unnecessary codes and poorly written libraries are often used, creating a huge security issue for users.
Some services advertise that their generator works offline, and thus its users are immune to private key theft.
This statement is false; an offline paper wallet generator can still create keys deterministically without ever needing to communicate this information in any way.
For this reason, I wouldn't trust any random websites offering offline paper wallet generators.
pwall, on the other hand, contains no bloat but only the essentials.
