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?
Reading a figure in one unit next to a figure in another. Megabits are not megabytes and the eight-fold gap sinks most transfer estimates; a kilobyte is 1 000 bytes to a drive maker and 1 024 to the operating system; pixels are not dots per inch. None of it is hard arithmetic — the unit on each side is what decides whether the answer means anything.
How is Fake data generator different from Data usage calculator?
They sit next to each other but answer different questions. Data usage calculator: 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.
