Show HN: FileMock – Generate test files for developers and QA engineers

https://filemock.com
1•humast•6mo ago
Hi HN! I built FileMock to solve a problem I constantly faced as a developer where I needed mock files for testing uploads, APIs, and storage systems.

Key features: • Generates video, audio, image, and document files with precise size control • 100% client-side processing • Supports 20+ formats: MP4, PDF, PNG, MP3, DOCX, etc. • No registration required, just visit and generate

Perfect for testing file upload limits, API endpoints, storage quotas, and CI/CD pipelines. I've been using it daily for the past few weeks and thought others might find it useful too.

The entire generation happens in your browser using Canvas API, Web Audio API, and FFmpeg.wasm for video processing. No server uploads means instant generation and complete privacy.

Would love feedback from the community via the in-app Suggestion form! What file formats or features would be most useful for your testing workflows?
