Frequently Asked Questions

What filename patterns are generated?

The generator creates realistic filename patterns including descriptive names, version numbers, dates, and common naming conventions used in file systems. All generated names follow standard filename rules.

Can I specify custom file extensions?

Yes! You can either type a custom extension in the input field or use the quick buttons for common file types like txt, pdf, jpg, png, docx, xlsx, mp4, and zip. Leave empty for random extensions.

Are these safe for actual file systems?

Yes, all generated filenames follow standard naming conventions and avoid special characters that could cause issues in file systems. They're safe to use as actual filenames on most operating systems.

What's this useful for?

Perfect for testing file upload systems, creating placeholder files, generating sample data for applications, testing file management systems, or when you need realistic filename examples for documentation.

Do the extensions match real file types?

Yes, when you specify an extension or use the quick buttons, you get realistic filenames that would typically have that extension. For example, .jpg files get image-related names, .pdf files get document-related names.

Can I generate multiple filenames at once?

Currently, the generator creates one filename at a time, but you can quickly generate multiple filenames by clicking "Generate New" repeatedly. Each filename will be unique and follow realistic naming patterns.
