Fakedata Generator live
Generates fake people, addresses, IBANs and other test data — one type at a time or in bulk, in English or German, with reproducible seeds. Great for seeding dev environments, terrible for lying on forms.

The Fake Data Generator produces believable test data on demand — either single values of one type or whole synthetic people. Ask for names, emails, addresses, phone numbers, IBANs, UUIDs, credit-card numbers and more, in English or German, one at a time or a thousand at once.
It's built for seeding development and staging databases, fixtures for tests, and demos that need realistic-looking rows without touching real personal data. Pass a seed and the output becomes fully reproducible, so a test that generates the same 50 users every run is one query away. The type=iban option pairs nicely with the IBAN validator. Great for filling a database, terrible for lying on forms.
| type | value type: full_name, email, username, phone, address, city, zip, company, job_title, ipv4, ipv6, uuid, credit_card, iban, lorem, … |
| n | how many to generate, 1-1000 (default 1) |
| seed | fix the PRNG seed for identical output every run |
| locale | en (default) or de — affects names, cities and streets |
| type=full_name | a single random name |
| type=email&n=10 | ten email addresses at once |
| type=address&locale=de | a German street, city, zip and country |
| type=iban | a structurally valid IBAN to feed the validator |
| type=uuid&n=100 | a hundred UUIDs for fixtures |
| type=full_name&seed=42 | same seed ⇒ identical output every time |
