If you’ve ever been without proper copy for a web page layout you’ll appreciate this online tool. It’s an online generator of greek text also know as Lorem Ipsum. ‘Lorem Ipsum’ is the first two words you’ll see in a passage of greek text.

There’s more info about Lorem Ipsum on the site if you’re looking for more facts. There are also a few translations to english on the site if you’re curious to know just what all that jibberish really means.

It’s a simple, easy to use tool, and highly useful for those times when you don’t have the text you need in order to create your designs.

Chances are you’ve used greek text before when creating your designs. I had a file of Lorem Ipsum text on hand when I needed it although finding the file alway took me some time.

Also it took a while to configure the text into lists, headlines and other text elements I needed. If I had to match a word count it was even a tougher job.

The main difference with the online Lorem Ipsum generator is you have access to quality greek text at any time. You can also generate the text four different ways including:

• Paragraphs - For body copy.
• Words - To match a specific word count. It can also be used to create headings and or sub-headings.
• Bytes - This is handy if you’re trying to keep the file size of you pages under a certain size.
• Lists - For, well, lists.

I like the fact that you can choose how many paragraphs, words, etc. you want and whether or not the greek text starts with the classic ‘Lorem Ipsum’. The results of each Lorem Ipsum generation also provide a handy count of your paragraphs, words and bytes.

Once you’ve made your greek text and you’re happy with it, just cut and paste it into your document and design the same way you would as if you had real content.

The only thing I don’t like about this site is it wasn’t around 5 years ago.

Go get your greek text at www.ipsum.com.
