Dummy Text Generator

About Dummy Text Generator

While Lorem Ipsum is the standard, sometimes you need placeholder text that looks like a real language to test fonts, layout density, or reading flow. This tool generates random text constructed from common vocabulary in English, Spanish, French, and German.

What is a Dummy Text Generator?

A Dummy Text Generator is a tool that creates placeholder content that looks like real language but is actually nonsensical. Unlike standard Lorem Ipsum (which is Latin), this tool generates text mimicking the letter distribution and sentence structure of specific languages like English, Spanish, French, or German.

This helps designers and developers see how layouts handle different languages, word lengths, and character sets without getting distracted by readable content.

Common Use Cases

• Layout Testing: Verify how your design adapts to languages with longer average word lengths (like German) compared to English.
• Font Verification: Ensure your chosen typography correctly renders language-specific characters (accents, umlauts).
• Content Strategy: Visualize text volume and hierarchy (headings vs paragraphs) in wireframes before real copy is written.
• Presentation: Show designs to stakeholders without them focusing on or critiquing the draft copy.

Best Practices for Placeholder Text

• Match the Length: Generate text volume similar to what you expect in the final product to avoid layout breaks later.
• Test Extremes: Use "List" or "Code" modes to test edge cases where content isn't just standard paragraphs.
• Replace Before Launch: Always ensure a content audit is performed so no dummy text accidentally slips into production.
