Frequently asked questions

What is Fake data generator?

Generate mock people as JSON, NDJSON, CSV or SQL — columns and countries of your choosing.

When would I actually use this?

Finding out how big a thing will be before you make it: how many gigabytes an hour of footage takes, how long a file needs on the connection you have, how large a photo prints before it goes soft, what bitrate fits the budget you were given.

What is the most common mistake?

Taking the advertised connection speed as the transfer speed. A 100 Mb/s line is megabits, the file is in megabytes, and the eight-fold difference between them is where most download estimates go wrong — before overhead and contention take their own share.

How is Fake data generator different from Data usage calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Data usage calculator is the one to open when you need it to estimate your monthly data usage from hours of activity per day. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Where do the figures come from?

Byte prefixes follow the IEC convention where a kibibyte is 1 024 bytes and a kilobyte is 1 000 — drive makers use the second, operating systems often report the first, and a disk that shrinks on arrival is that gap and nothing else. Print sizing assumes 300 dpi unless you change it.
