Fake Link Maker
Placeholder links for mockups, demos & QA — clearly labeled, never deceptive.

FAQ
Fake link maker questions
What is a fake link maker used for?
It creates dummy hyperlinks for legitimate design and development work — wireframes, slide decks, and QA testing — before real destination URLs exist. It should never be used to disguise a link's true destination.
Is it okay to use a fake link to prank a friend?
A harmless, obviously-labeled joke between friends who both know it's a placeholder is fine. Tricking someone into an unexpected page, or impersonating a trusted brand, is not — that's phishing.
Can this tool make a link look like it goes somewhere it doesn't?
No. It generates standard, transparent HTML anchor tags — the real href is always visible in the code and in the browser's status bar on hover.
