Fake Data Generator

WHAT IT DOES

Fake Data Generator creates realistic synthetic data for testing, prototyping, and development. Generate names, email addresses, phone numbers, street addresses, companies, job titles, dates, and more. Choose from five data categories: Person, Address, Contact, Company, or Custom (all fields). Generate from 1 to 10,000 records at once. Export data in JSON, CSV, or plain text formats. Copy results to your clipboard or download them as files. The tool supports US and UK English locales and includes an optional random seed for reproducible results.

WHERE IT RUNS

The extension runs entirely within your browser's local environment using the BotGentz framework. All data generation, formatting, and export occur on your machine without any network requests. No generated data, settings, or user activity is ever transmitted, uploaded, or stored externally. The tool works on any website and respects the browser's security boundaries, operating within the isolated extension sandbox. Fake data generation uses pure JavaScript with built-in name lists and data patterns.

HOW TO USE

Click the extension toolbar icon to open the Fake Data Generator panel. Select a data category (Person, Address, Contact, Company, or Custom). Enter the number of records to generate (1-10,000). Choose the output format (JSON, CSV, or Plain Text). Click "Generate" to create the data. The results appear in the output area. Click "Copy" to copy the data to your clipboard. Click "Download" to save the data as a file. Toggle "Include headers" to add column headers in CSV output. Change the "Locale" between US English and UK English for localized names and spellings. Set a "Random seed" for reproducible results. The tool updates automatically when you change settings.

THE DATA GENERATION ENGINE — WHY IT WORKS

Most fake data generators use simplistic patterns that produce obviously fake results. This tool uses a realistic data generation engine with curated name lists, addresses, companies, and job titles for both US and UK English locales. The engine generates each field using context-aware logic: first and last names are combined to create realistic full names, email addresses are generated from names with common domain patterns, phone numbers follow the standard US format with area codes, and addresses combine street numbers, street names, cities, states, and ZIP codes. The custom category includes all available fields in a single record. The output formatter supports three formats: JSON for structured data, CSV for spreadsheets, and plain text for simple lists. The seed feature allows reproducible results by controlling the random number generator.

THE PANEL

The Fake Data Generator panel is fully draggable by its title bar and remembers its position on screen per website. It snaps to the edges of your browser window for clean alignment. Collapse the panel to a compact icon strip using the minimize button, restoring it with a single click. Resize the panel by dragging any edge or corner; the input controls, output area, and result display adjust proportionally. Press the Escape key to close the panel instantly. The panel maintains independent state for each browser tab, allowing you to generate data in multiple tabs simultaneously.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz extension framework to be installed and enabled. The tool generates synthetic data for testing purposes only; it does not use real personal information. Generating large datasets (10,000+ records) may take a moment and produce large output. The CSV format with headers is ideal for importing into spreadsheets or databases. The seed feature uses a simple random number generator; results are reproducible with the same seed. All data is generated locally and is never transmitted, logged, or shared. The extension requests no network permissions and functions entirely offline. The source code is fully auditable and available for review.
