Dummy Data & Sample Files

Dummy data for whatever you are building: mock CSV and JSON datasets, unicode edge cases, deliberately invalid JSON, prose at exact word counts, and sample files in every format you need. All of it is generated in your own browser — no signup, no row limits, nothing uploaded. Built for developers, QA engineers, designers, copywriters and SEO teams who need believable test data right now.

Build your own

Datasets, placeholder images and files of an exact byte size — built to your spec, in this tab. Choose the columns, the dimensions or the row count, and your own CPU produces the result: no rate limit, no signup, nothing uploaded.

Dataset generator

Pick your columns and format, then copy or download. Reuse the seed to rebuild a byte-identical file whenever you need to reproduce a failure.

Placeholder image generator

Any resolution, any format, composed on a canvas in this tab. Five styles: a measuring grid, two drawn scenes and two real photographs. Useful when a layout needs a 3:1 hero, when an upload form claims to reject anything over 2 MB, or when a CDN pipeline needs a WebP to chew on.

Style

Checkerboard, bold diagonals and the pixel dimensions — the fastest way to spot a stretched, letterboxed or badly cropped image.

Blank file of an exact size

For the upload limit you are trying to hit. Choose an extension and a size, and the file appears — no 50 MB download from a stranger's server just to test a 50 MB cap.

Size

Large sizes are held in memory before download. Anything over 100 MB is refused.

Multi-page PDF

A structurally valid PDF 1.4 assembled byte by byte in your browser: catalog, page tree, uncompressed content streams and a base-14 Helvetica reference. No embedded fonts, no JavaScript, nothing to strip.

Or take a ready-made fixture

Placeholder text & prose

Real English sentences at exact word counts — not Latin filler. Every block is measured with the same Intl.Segmenter tokenizer as our word counter, so a block labelled 250 words reports 250 words in any tool that counts them properly.

50-word sample

Original English prose about writing, design and testing — safe to show a client, and realistic enough to expose line-breaking and hyphenation problems that Latin filler hides.

Unicode & edge cases

The strings that break naive code: mixed scripts, joined emoji, invisible characters, unbroken words and the hostile-looking input your sanitizer is supposed to neutralise.

Boundary-length strings

The lengths that sit either side of a VARCHAR limit, a database column, or a truncation rule. Each string is a ruler marked every ten characters, so you can see exactly where a value was cut.

One token with no spaces — the fastest way to find a container missing overflow-wrap.

Mixed-script pangrams

Fifteen writing systems in one block — Latin with diacritics, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, CJK, Thai, Devanagari and Vietnamese. If a font, a column encoding or a PDF export is going to fail, it fails here.

textQADeveloperDesigner850 chars15 lines1.3 KB

Emoji & grapheme clusters

Skin tones, ZWJ families, regional-indicator flags and combining marks. This is where character counting stops being obvious and String.length starts lying to you.

textQADeveloper565 chars13 lines675 B

Invisible & control characters

Non-breaking spaces, zero-width joiners, soft hyphens, a byte order mark and a right-to-left override — each labelled with its codepoint so you know what you pasted.

textQADeveloper392 chars9 lines410 B

Zalgo / stacked diacritics

Combining marks stacked far past anything legible. It tests line-height clamping, container overflow and any place you assumed one character equals one row of pixels.

textQADesigner126 chars1 line222 B

Input-validation payloads

Inert strings shaped like SQL, HTML, path traversal, template and command injection. Paste them into your own form and confirm the sanitizer neutralises every one.

textQADeveloper842 chars20 lines845 B

Valid & invalid email addresses

Addresses that RFC 5322 permits and most homegrown regexes reject, alongside the ones that must genuinely fail. The fastest way to find out whether your validator is right or merely confident.

textQADeveloper696 chars22 lines734 B

Structured data & code

Valid and deliberately broken payloads for every parser you own — JSON, SQL, CSV, Markdown, YAML, XML — plus identifier packs and issuer-published card test numbers.

Valid JSON — user records

Three nested user objects with booleans, nulls, empty arrays, a zero value and a non-Latin name. Formatted, parseable, and awkward enough to be worth testing.

jsonDeveloperQA1,157 chars41 lines1.1 KB

Invalid JSON — four ways

A trailing comma, single quotes, an unquoted key with a bare NaN, and a response truncated mid-string. Four separate failure modes so you can test each error path on its own.

jsonDeveloperQA395 chars11 lines397 B

SQL schema & inserts

A CREATE TABLE with realistic column types plus multi-row INSERT statements, including an escaped apostrophe and a NULL, so your migration and seeding paths both get exercised.

sqlDeveloper973 chars16 lines974 B

CSV with hostile values

Quoted fields containing commas, an escaped double quote, an empty numeric cell and a non-ASCII name. Any parser that splits on the comma character breaks on line two.

csvDeveloperQA487 chars5 lines488 B

Markdown kitchen sink

Headings, nested lists, task lists, a table with column alignment, a fenced code block, a blockquote, a horizontal rule and an image. Everything a renderer claims to support, on one page.

markdownDeveloperCopywriter981 chars41 lines983 B

YAML config

A service definition with nested maps, sequences, an inline array and the famous quoted true — the value that turns into a boolean the moment somebody forgets the quotes.

yamlDeveloper571 chars28 lines571 B

XML catalogue

Attributes, a CDATA section, escaped ampersands and an xsi:nil element. Enough structure to exercise a real parser rather than a regex pretending to be one.

xmlDeveloper691 chars17 lines691 B

Identifier reference pack

UUIDs, ULIDs, ObjectIds, semver strings, ISO timestamps, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, MAC addresses, hex colours and a SHA-256 digest — the values you keep retyping from memory.

textDeveloperQA820 chars20 lines820 B

JWT tokens (unsigned)

Structurally valid tokens with meaningless signatures, plus an expired one. Any library that actually verifies will reject them, which is exactly what you want when testing the failure branch.

textDeveloperQA752 chars12 lines754 B

Payment card test numbers

The Luhn-valid test numbers the card networks publish themselves. Every live gateway rejects them, and they exist for precisely this purpose — plus one that fails the checksum on purpose.

textDeveloperQA629 chars15 lines629 B

SEO & meta fixtures

Exact-length title tags and meta descriptions, Open Graph blocks, JSON-LD samples, a sitemap and a robots.txt you can paste straight into a staging environment.

Title, description & social tags

A title tag at exactly 60 characters, a meta description at exactly 155, and full Open Graph and Twitter card blocks — plus strings at 55, 70 and 120 characters for testing truncation.

Article and Product schemas with the properties Google actually reads, including author, publisher, offers and aggregateRating. Paste into the Rich Results Test to confirm your renderer output.

Video samples

Real footage, not a flat-colour test pattern — two stock clips, each cut into a resolution ladder and mirrored across MP4, WebM and MOV, with an inline preview so you can judge quality before downloading.

Nothing you make here leaves the tab. The generators run in JavaScript on this page — the 50,000 rows you just built never travelled anywhere, there is no API behind the Generate button, and closing the tab is a complete deletion. The two photo styles pull one static image from this domain, exactly as any picture on any page does; it is cropped and encoded on your machine, and nothing is ever sent back.

Now do something with it

Why this page exists

Most dummy data is either too clean to be useful or locked behind a signup form and a 1,000-row daily cap. This page takes the opposite approach. Every record comes out of a mulberry32 pseudo-random generator seeded through crypto.getRandomValues, running in JavaScript inside your own tab — so the row limit is your available memory, the rate limit does not exist, and nothing you produce is transmitted anywhere. The fixtures are chosen for the bugs they find, not for how tidy they look.

  • Reproducible by seed: Every generated dataset shows the seed that produced it, and re-entering that seed rebuilds a byte-identical file. A flaky test that only fails on row 4,812 stops being an anecdote and becomes an ordinary, fixable bug you can hand to a colleague.

  • Deliberately awkward values: Addresses contain commas, names contain apostrophes and non-Latin scripts, postal codes carry leading zeros, and a configurable share of cells is null. Clean data proves nothing — these are the values that expose broken CSV quoting and unhandled null branches.

  • Seven output formats: The same rows serialize to CSV, TSV, JSON, NDJSON, SQL inserts, XML or YAML, with RFC 4180 quoting, standard SQL apostrophe escaping and YAML scalar quoting applied correctly. Switch format without regenerating and the underlying records stay identical.

  • Files built in the browser: Placeholder images come in five styles — a measuring grid, two drawn scenes and two real photographs cover-cropped to whatever aspect ratio you ask for — and the PDF is assembled byte by byte: catalog, page tree, xref table and all. No upload, no third-party CDN, no waiting on someone else's rate limiter.

  • Two ways to cut it down: Filter by Developer, QA, Designer, Copywriter or SEO to drop the cards that are not yours, or type in the search box to land on a fixture by name. A copywriter gets prose at exact word counts; a QA engineer gets boundary strings and injection payloads; nobody scrolls past the other four roles' material.

How to use this page

  1. 1

    Start in the search box, or pick your role in the filter row beneath it. Filtering by role clears anywhere from a quarter to two-thirds of the cards, depending on which one you choose.

  2. 2

    For a ready-made fixture, hit Copy on any card — the whole payload reaches your clipboard without ever opening it. Use Preview when you want to read it first.

  3. 3

    For a custom dataset, use Build your own at the top of the page: tick the columns you need, set the row count and format, then note the seed if you will want to rebuild this exact file later.

  4. 4

    For binary fixtures, use the image, file-size and PDF generators, or take a direct link from the downloads grid at the bottom of the page.
