Email Address Generator
Generate random email addresses for testing and development. Create realistic emails with test domains or custom domains.
How to Generate Test Emails
Step 1: Configure Options
Choose how many email addresses you need and optionally specify a custom domain. Enable test domains for disposable addresses that won't conflict with real users.
Step 2: Generate Emails
Click "Generate New" to create realistic-looking email addresses. Each email follows common naming patterns used by real users.
Step 3: Copy and Use
Copy all generated emails with one click. Use them in your E2E tests, database seeding scripts, or development environments.
Why Use Fake Email Addresses?
Testing with real email addresses creates privacy risks and can trigger unwanted notifications. Fake emails let you test user registration, authentication flows, and email validation without side effects.
Our generator creates realistic-looking addresses that pass basic validation while using safe domains that don't belong to real users.
Test Domain Benefits
- No accidental emails to real addresses
- Passes email format validation
- Safe for CI/CD pipelines
- Disposable inbox services available
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I receive emails at these addresses?
Addresses using test domains like example.com won't receive real emails. For testing email delivery, use services like Mailinator or Mailtrap that provide disposable inboxes.
Are these emails safe for production testing?
Yes, when using test domains. These domains are reserved for testing and documentation purposes. Never use generated emails with real domain names in automated tests that send actual emails.
How do I seed a database with test emails?
Generate the number of emails you need, copy them, and import into your seeding script. For programmatic generation, use libraries like Faker.js which provide similar functionality in code.
What makes a realistic test email?
Realistic test emails use common name patterns (firstname.lastname, firstname_lastname123), proper domains, and valid format. Our generator follows these patterns to catch validation bugs that might miss malformed addresses.
Should I use custom domains for testing?
Use custom domains when testing domain-specific features (like company email validation). For general testing, stick with test domains to avoid any risk of sending emails to real addresses.
Best practices for email testing
- Always use test/disposable domains in automated tests
- Include edge cases: long emails, special characters, international domains
- Test both valid and invalid email formats
- Use email capture services in staging environments
- Never hardcode real email addresses in test code
- Clean up test accounts after test runs
