Lorem Ipsum, a collection of filler text generators
- Lorem ipsum – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia — What is and history of Lorem Ipsum
- Lorem Ipsum – All the facts – Lipsum generator — The Lorem Ipsum generator: just choose paragraphs/words/bytes/lists and generate the text filler that your need.
- HTML-Ipsum
- Typetester – Compare fonts for the screen
- Justin Bieber Ipsum | Lorem Ipsum Generator | Place Holder Text
- Cat Ipsum | A Furrier Alternative to Lorem Ipsum
- Bacon Ipsum | A Meatier Lorem Ipsum Generator — “Does your lorem ipsum text long for something a little meatier? Give our generator a try… it’s tasty!” Yes, it’s actually a Lorem Ipsum generator based on pieces of meat: you can just choose the paragraphs!!!
- Veggie Ipsum – the vegetarian lorem ipsum generator — If you’re a vegetarian you probably fancy a vegetarian Lorem Ipsum too: try this!!! “Zucchini grape chickpea lettuce cress bitterleaf sorrel leek welsh onion plantain burdock komatsuna radicchio parsley dulse yarrow arugula peanut.”
- Chuck Norris Ipsum — Chuck Norris found out about Conan O’Brien’s lever that shows clips from “Walker: Texas Ranger” and is working on a way to make it show clips of Norris having sex with Conan’s wife. Chuck Norris doesn’t need to swallow when eating food.
- Fillerama: Themed Filler Text Generator — You can choose between: Doctor Who, Dexter, Futurama, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Simpsons, Star Wars and just basic simple Lorem Ipsum; it is possible to tick lists, headers and choose how many paragraphs you want.
- Fillerati – Faux Latin is a Dead Language — “I made Fillerati because I grew tired of reading “Lorem ipsum…” on every new design I was working on.” So the author made a filler generator with excerpts from Lewis Carrol, Jack London, Herman Melville, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, L. Frank Baum and Edgar Rice Borroughs. You can choose the number of paragraphs but it’s a little bit tricky, since you have to slide the mouse (or maybe I’m just dumb, that is possible).
- Cupcake Ipsum – Sugar-coated Lorem Ipsum Generator
- Corporate Ipsum — It’s a widget!!!
- Blippity Fling-Flang — “Blippity Fling-Flang generates fun and unique gibberish text. Use it for whatever you want!” But the killer feature is the FLANGITIZE A PAGE option: insert the URL and make any page you want a total nonsense. Super fun!!!
- An alternative for lorem ipsum : get your dummy text from twitter/digg/reddit
- Jedi Ipsum
- Hipster Ipsum | Artisanal filler text for your site or project. — Mustache craft beer cardigan, authentic squid cliche ethnic twee beard jean shorts. Portland mlkshk aute keytar nesciunt accusamus cillum. Vegan sustainable +1 beard, et four loko mumblecore est sed dolore fingerstache placeat.
