What is the Mock Data Generator?

Building a table, a list view, or an import feature always hits the same wall: you need data to see it work, and typing out fake rows by hand is tedious and unrealistic. Worse, grabbing real customer data for testing is a privacy risk you don't need.

This mock data generator produces realistic-looking but entirely fictional records as JSON or CSV, so you can populate and test anything in seconds.

Last updated: Aug 13, 2026

What does this tool do?

You pick the fields you want, how many rows, and a format, and the tool generates random records from built-in name, city and company data.

It outputs clean JSON or CSV you can copy or download, ready to drop into a database seed, an import test or a UI mockup.

Key features

Choose your fields

id, name, email, city, date and more.

JSON or CSV

Export in the format you need.

Up to 500 rows

Enough for realistic testing.

Copy or download

Private & fake

Fictional data, generated in-browser.

Example

Input
10 rows with id, name, email, active
Processing
The tool builds random records from its data sets.
Output
A JSON array of 10 fictional users with those fields.

Common use cases

  • Frontend developersPopulate tables and lists while building.
  • Backend developersSeed a database for local testing.
  • QA engineersCreate test fixtures quickly.
  • DesignersFill mockups with realistic content.
  • Data engineersTest import and ETL pipelines.
  • EducatorsProvide sample datasets to students.
  • PrototypersDemo a feature with believable data.
  • Anyone needing test dataSkip inventing rows by hand.

Benefits

  • It creates realistic data without the busywork.
  • It avoids using real personal data in tests.
  • It exports in the format your tools expect.
  • It runs locally, so nothing leaves your browser.

Tips

  • Match the fields to your real schema for the most useful data.
  • Use JSON for API/database seeds and CSV for spreadsheets or imports.
  • Generate a large set to test pagination and performance.
  • Never mix this fake data into production databases.
  • Regenerate to get a fresh random set any time.
  • Add an id field when you need stable keys.
  • Download CSV to open directly in a spreadsheet.
  • Combine with the JSON to TypeScript tool to type the output.

Common mistakes to avoid

Using real data for tests

Fix: Generate fictional data instead to avoid privacy and compliance risks.

Too little data to test edge cases

Fix: Generate enough rows to exercise pagination, sorting and scrolling.

Fields that don't match your schema

Fix: Pick fields that mirror your real columns so tests are meaningful.

Seeding production with mock data

Fix: Keep generated data strictly in development and test environments.

No. They're plausible-looking but fictional and shouldn't be contacted.

No. Data is generated entirely in your browser.

Conclusion
