Troubleshooting

Generated text does not fit my layout
Use the exact word count option to match your container size. For responsive layouts, test with varying amounts of text to see how your design handles different content lengths.
Copy button does not work
Some browsers block clipboard access. Try selecting the text manually and using Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac). Ensure your browser permissions allow clipboard access.
Text includes HTML tags I do not want
Check the output format setting. Choose plain text for raw content without markup, or HTML if you need paragraph tags for direct pasting into web pages.
