InstaGenerate is a small, independent project based in the United Kingdom. It's the home of a handful of free online tools — a random email address and temporary inbox, a password generator, and a username generator — along with guides that explain how to use them and, just as importantly, when not to.
There's no big company behind it and no investors. It's built and run by one person, paid for by the ads on the site and the occasional affiliate link. That's deliberate: keeping it small and simple is what keeps it free.
Why it exists
Most tools like these are buried under sign-up walls, account requirements, or a stack of pop-ups before you can do the one simple thing you came to do. The idea here was the opposite — open the page, get what you need, and go. No account, no email address handed over, no friction.
How it works, and what we don't do
The passwords and usernames you generate are created entirely in your browser. They are never sent to us and never stored anywhere — we never see them. The temporary email tool uses a third-party inbox service, so anything sent there passes through that provider rather than us. Those inboxes are public by design, which is why they're meant for throwaway sign-ups and one-off verification codes only, never for anything that matters.
We don't run sign-ups, we don't ask for your details, and we don't sell anything about you. The full breakdown of what is and isn't collected lives in our Privacy Policy.
How it's paid for
The site is free, and stays free, because of advertising and a small number of affiliate links — for example, a password manager recommended alongside our password guide. If you click an affiliate link and go on to buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and those links are marked clearly where they appear. We only point to things we'd be happy to use ourselves.
