About
RandomUser.me creates made-up-but-believable people: a name, photo, email, address, birthday, and phone number. The data is fake, so it's safe for demos and mockups. It's donation-funded, completely free, and you can request dozens or hundreds of profiles at once, or pin the same set with a "seed" so results stay identical every time you load them.
