Capabilities Checklist

  • Two filler languages: the classic Latin word pool plus Chinese placeholder text — Chinese layouts show real character width, line breaking, and punctuation compression (Latin filler can't reveal those), switchable in one click.
  • Three count units: exact counts by paragraphs (3-6 sentences each), sentences, or words; type a number directly, out-of-range values clamp to the valid range.
  • Three output formats: plain text for direct pasting; HTML paragraph mode wraps each paragraph in <p>; HTML list mode turns each sentence into an <li>, ready for page templates.
  • Classic-start toggle: on by default, output begins with the industry-standard "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" (a fixed Chinese first sentence for Chinese filler); turn it off for fully random text.
  • The Chinese filler word list is reviewed word by word (safe high-frequency words); sentences use comma clauses and end with periods, close to real Chinese. Live generation + one-click copy, nothing uploaded.

Placeholder Text Explained: What Lorem Ipsum Is and When to Use Chinese Filler

What is that unreadable Latin in design mockups? This guide explains why layout previews use meaningless filler instead of real copy, traces lorem ipsum's 500-year journey from Cicero's philosophy to the type setter's workshop, and why Chinese typography needs its own Chinese filler: character width, line breaking, and punctuation compression all behave differently from Latin scripts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rules does this generator follow?
Latin mode builds sentences from a classic word pool (6-18 words, capitalized first word, period at the end) with 3-6 sentences per paragraph; Chinese mode draws words from a hand-reviewed safe word list into sentences of 5-12 words with comma clauses and a final period, 2-4 sentences per paragraph. Counts are exact for the chosen unit (paragraphs/sentences/words).
When should Chinese filler be used instead of Latin?
Latin lorem ipsum is the international design convention, good for general layout drafts. Chinese filler is for previewing Chinese typography — character width, line-breaking rules, and punctuation compression behave completely differently from Latin, so layouts drafted with Latin filler often need rework after launch. Use Chinese filler for Chinese product prototypes, article layouts, and website drafts.
What is the difference between HTML paragraph and HTML list output?
HTML paragraph mode wraps each paragraph in a <p> tag (sentence/word units produce one paragraph overall); HTML list mode generates one <li> per sentence in sentence mode (the list-layout convention) and one <li> per paragraph in paragraph mode. The output is HTML source text you can copy and paste, not a rendered preview.
What does the classic-start toggle do?
When on, output begins with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit." (a fixed first sentence for Chinese filler) — the most recognizable placeholder form in the industry; turn it off for fully random text. In word mode the starting sentence counts toward the word count and is truncated by words when the count is short.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Generation runs entirely in your browser (using the platform's crypto-grade random source) and works offline; there is no seed, so every generation differs.
