Random User Agent Generator
Create synthetic User-Agent strings that mimic real browsers and devices. Choose platform (desktop/mobile) and browser (Chrome/Firefox/Safari) to generate authentic-looking UA headers for testing HTTP clients and web scrapers.

What it does
The Random User Agent Generator produces synthetic User-Agent strings shaped like real browsers and devices — Chrome, Firefox, and Safari across desktop and mobile (Android, iOS). Filter by platform and browser, generate up to 1,000 per run, and reuse a seed for stable fixtures. The strings parse correctly in UA-parsing libraries without identifying any real client.
Common use cases
- UA parser testing — browser/OS/device detection code fed realistic variety (presets for mixed, Chrome desktop, and mobile sets).
- Analytics fixtures — user-agent columns for log and dashboard test data.
- HTTP client tests — request fixtures with plausible headers for middleware and logging.
- Responsive-logic testing — server-side device detection exercised across desktop and mobile signatures.
Settings
- Platform — desktop, mobile, or mixed.
- Browser — Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or mixed.
- How many — 1 to 1,000 strings, exportable as text, CSV, or JSON.
- Seed — identical seed + settings = identical strings.
Privacy note
Strings are generated locally in your browser and never uploaded. They are synthetic — assembled from real UA patterns but identifying no actual device or person, which makes them safe in logs and shared fixtures.
FAQ
Will UA parsers understand these? Yes — they follow the structure of genuine UA strings, so libraries extract sensible browser/OS/device values. That’s the point: realistic input without sampling real traffic.
Why is the User-Agent string so weird anyway? Decades of compatibility lies — everyone claims to be Mozilla, WebKit strings appear everywhere. Parsers must handle this mess, which is why varied test input matters.
A note on scraping: Rotating user agents to evade a site’s controls violates most terms of service. These fixtures are for testing your own systems and parsers.
