Yelp Review Generator
The Yelp Review Generator lets you build a realistic, clearly-fictional Yelp review card right in your browser. Set the reviewer photo and name, add an Elite or All-Star badge, edit the friends, reviews and photos counts, choose a one-to-five star rating in Yelp's rounded-square star style, and write the review with the familiar read more cut. You can also attach food photos, set Helpful, Thanks, Love this and Oh no reaction counts, mark the review as updated, and show a business header or owner reply. Export a crisp PNG in seconds. It is built for marketers, agencies, UI designers and educators, it is free with no login, and everything renders on your device.
Yelp always shows "First L." — never a full surname.
Yelp prints raw numbers: 1069, not 1,069.
The whole row takes the rating's colour, from yellow (1★) to red (5★).
310 / 2000 characters
Shows the first paragraph cut to 138 characters (Yelp cuts at ~140 on a word boundary).
Like Yelp: the first tile is captioned only when there are 1–2 photos, and the last tile becomes "See all" when there are 2 or more. Click a thumbnail to replace it.
The active reaction gets a tinted circle, colour icon, and its count +1 — enter the base count above.
Yelp's website is light-only; the dark theme is an estimate from Yelp's own dark-surface tokens.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Yelp Review Generator free?
Yes. You can create and export Yelp-style review mockups for free with no account, subscription or sign-up.
Is it legal and safe to make a fake Yelp review?
Clearly fictional review mockups for design comps, presentations, education and marketing concepts are fine. Never post a generated review to a real business listing, use it to mislead customers, or present it as a genuine testimonial. That is deceptive and in many places illegal.
Is this affiliated with Yelp?
No. This is an independent, unofficial mockup tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yelp. It recreates the look of a review card so you can fill it with your own made-up content.
Can I add an Elite badge and photos?
Yes. You can show an Elite year badge with an optional All-Star pill, and attach photos that you crop in the browser, with a caption on the first tile and a See all tile.
Does it support the Helpful, Thanks, Love this and Oh no reactions?
Yes. Every reaction has an editable count, and you can mark one as active to show the tinted, selected state.
Does it export a high-resolution PNG?
Yes. The card renders at a high pixel ratio and exports as a sharp PNG for retina screens, slides and print.
