I made a fun little video walking through a fast and simple Lorem Ipsum generator. Watch it here:
If you’ve ever worked on a website, mockup, or design draft, chances are you’ve used or needed placeholder text. Lorem Ipsum is the go-to for this — a bunch of Latin-ish filler that makes your layout look realistic before the final copy is ready.
In the video, I demonstrate how to use a clean, browser-based Lorem Ipsum generator that lets you instantly create as much or as little placeholder text as you need. You can specify how many paragraphs, sentences, or even words you want, and it copies to your clipboard with one click.
This is super helpful for:
- Web developers working on page layouts
- Designers needing quick text for mockups
- Content creators setting up templates
Some tools even let you generate “fun” variants — like Bacon Ipsum or Hipster Ipsum — but I keep it classic in the video with standard text.
Placeholder text isn’t just for looks. It helps you see how your layout will behave with real-world content: how text wraps, how much space you need, and whether your design breaks.
The generator I show doesn’t require any login or installation. Just open the page, set your preferences, and grab your text.
Do you have a favorite tool for mockups or design placeholders? I’d love to hear about it.
