Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really privacy-first?
Yes! All generation happens in your browser. We don't use cookies, tracking scripts, or collect any data. Compare this to traditional generators that load 6+ ad networks and track your location.
Why does it start with "Lorem ipsum"?
Toggle the "Start with Lorem ipsum..." checkbox if you want completely random text. Starting with the classic phrase helps clients recognize it as placeholder text.
What is the floating preview panel?
The floating preview is a panel that appears at the bottom of your screen when text is generated. It lets you see your text, copy it, or download it without scrolling. You can minimize it to a small button if you prefer more screen space.
Can I use the API commercially?
Yes! The API is free for commercial use within the rate limits (100 requests/hour). Need higher limits? Contact us about enterprise access.
What's auto-generate mode?
When enabled, text regenerates automatically as you change settings. Great for previewing different amounts without clicking Generate each time.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes! The generator is fully responsive and works great on phones and tablets. The floating preview panel adapts to smaller screens automatically.
