How to use Generate Random Text Files
- 1. Set the number of lines. Enter Number of lines to control how many lines of text the file contains, whether you need a short sample or a large stress-test file.
- 2. Set words per line. Enter Words per line to control how long each line reads, useful for matching a specific line-length pattern your tool needs to handle.
- 3. Copy the generated text. Copy the resulting plain text and paste it into a file, a test fixture, or anywhere disposable filler content is needed for a text-processing task.
When to use Generate Random Text Files
Generate Random Text Files produces plain text made of random words arranged into a set number of lines, useful whenever a tool or script needs a sample text file without you writing real content.
- Testing a text file parser. You wrote a script that reads a text file line by line and processes each word, and want generated content at a controlled line count and word length to test it.
- Benchmarking a search or grep tool. You are testing how quickly a search function scans a text file, so you generate a large number of lines with several words each to create a realistically sized file.
- Filling a upload demo with sample content. A file upload feature needs a plain text file to demo the upload flow. Generating one quickly gives you disposable content without opening a text editor.
- Creating test data for a word count utility. You built a tool that counts words per line and want generated text with a known number of words per line to confirm the count matches expectations.
Examples
Ten lines of eight random words

About the Generate Random Text Files tool
Generate Random Text Files is a free online tool that works entirely inside your web browser. Generate random plain text files. Because the processing happens on your own device, nothing you enter is uploaded, logged or stored anywhere.
This page is one of 120 Random utilities on EditSafely. Each one does a single job well, and all of them follow the same rule: your input stays on your machine.
You can shape the output with 2 settings, including Number of lines and Words per line, and the result refreshes the moment you change one. A worked example further down the page shows exactly what the tool produces for a real input.
Because nothing leaves your device, the tool is suitable for sensitive content such as internal documents, credentials or customer data. It also responds instantly, since every keystroke is handled on your own machine rather than by a remote API.
