Text Placeholder Generator
Generate filler text to an exact character or word budget.
Quick Tool Overview
The Text Placeholder Generator hits an exact character or word count rather than an approximate one. Ask for 155 characters and you get 155, cut at a word boundary — which is what a truncation test needs, and what every other filler generator gets close to and misses.

About the Text Placeholder Generator
Most filler generators give you approximately what you asked for. That is fine for a paragraph and useless when you are testing a component that truncates at 155 characters, or a title field that hard-stops at 60.
This produces text to an exact length. Ask for 155 characters and you get 155 — the last word trimmed so the count is precise, without leaving a fragment mid-word. Presets cover the limits that come up constantly: Google title and meta description, X and Instagram posts, SMS segments and common database column sizes. It is the tool for checking that a design holds at exactly its maximum rather than at a comfortable average.
Key features of the Text Placeholder Generator
Exact to the character
Generated past the target and trimmed precisely, with no fragment left mid-word.
Presets for real limits
Google title and description, X and Instagram posts, SMS segments and VARCHAR(255).
Latin or English filler
Whichever suits what the text is standing in for.
Words or characters
Hit an exact word count when that is the constraint rather than the character total.
Tests the maximum
Designs break at their limit, not their average, and only exact-length filler finds it.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Text is generated past the target and then trimmed to the precise count, with the trailing partial word removed and the remainder padded so the total is exactly what you asked for.
That one produces a chosen number of paragraphs, sentences or words. This one hits an exact character budget, which is what a truncation test or a database column needs.
The limits that come up constantly — 60 for a Google title, 155 for a meta description, 280 for an X post, 160 for an SMS segment, and 255 for a VARCHAR column.
Because that is where layouts break. A card that looks fine with average text can overflow, clip or push its neighbour out of alignment at the maximum, and only exact-length filler finds it.
