I Built a Free Lorem Ipsum Generator for Developers & Designers 🚀

As developers, we often need placeholder text—quickly.

Whether it’s:

  • Testing UI layouts
  • Designing landing pages
  • Building templates
  • Prototyping dashboards

…we almost always end up searching for “lorem ipsum generator”, copying random text, and moving on.

So I decided to build my own Lorem Ipsum Generator — simple, fast, and actually useful for daily dev work.

Why I Built This Tool

Most existing Lorem Ipsum generators fall into one of these categories:

  • Too many ads
  • Limited controls
  • Slow or bloated UI
  • Require sign-up
  • Don’t give proper control over output I wanted a tool that is:

100% free
Instant output
No login required
Built for developers, designers & content creators

Features I Focused On

Here’s what my Lorem Ipsum Generator currently offers:

🔹 Custom Output Control

  • Generate text by words, characters, or paragraphs
  • Instantly adjust length based on your needs

🔹 Real-Time Counters

  • Word counter
  • Character counter
  • Paragraph counter

This helps a lot when you’re designing SEO layouts, UI components, or CMS templates.

🔹 Clean & Fast UI

  • No distractions
  • No unnecessary options
  • Works smoothly on desktop & mobile

Who Is This Tool For?

This generator is useful if you are:

  • 🧑‍💻 A developer building UI components
  • 🎨 A designer working on layouts or mockups
  • ✍️ A content creator testing spacing & formatting
  • 📈 A marketer previewing landing pages

Tech Stack (Simple & Lightweight)

I intentionally kept the stack minimal to ensure performance and simplicity:

  • Clean frontend logic
  • SEO-optimized structure
  • No heavy libraries
  • Fast load time

Sometimes simple tools solve real problems better than complex ones.

I’d really appreciate:

  • Feature suggestions
  • UI improvement ideas
  • Bug reports
  • Feedback from fellow developers

What’s Next?

I’m planning to:

  • Add more developer-focused text utilities
  • Build a small collection of free online tools
  • Improve UX based on community feedback
