TextArray vs Lipsum.com
Updated August 26, 2026
Lipsum.com is the source most people mean when they say "lorem ipsum": a generator built on "a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures", with output measured in paragraphs, words, bytes or list items, and the site itself offered in more than 50 languages.
It does one thing, it has done it since the web was young, and it does it well.
Where Lipsum.com is strong
- The canonical source, with the history of the passage documented on the page.
- Site available in more than 50 languages — far more than TextArray's eighteen.
- Output by bytes, which is unusual and occasionally exactly what you need.
TextArray's lorem ipsum generator produces the same kind of placeholder paragraphs, sentences or words. The reason to use it is what sits beside it: mock JSON records from a schema, fake names, e-mail addresses, IBANs, card numbers with a valid Luhn check, random dates, IPs, UUIDs, ULIDs and usernames — the rest of the test data a layout usually needs.
Both are free and neither asks for an account. Neither is better at Latin; TextArray simply saves the second and third tab.
