This Lorem Ipsum generator creates Latin placeholder text for mockups, prototypes and design tests, in the exact amount you need: by paragraphs, sentences or words.
Placeholder text keeps real content from distracting you while reviewing a layout: since it doesn't mean anything, you immediately notice whether the typography, spacing or font size actually works, without anyone stopping to “read” the example.

What Lorem Ipsum is and what it's for
Lorem Ipsum is pseudo-Latin text that has been used as filler in the printing industry for centuries, and today in web and product design too. Because it doesn't mean anything recognizable, it lets you judge the visual look of a design without real content skewing your opinion.
- Mockups of web pages and apps before the final copy is ready.
- Email templates and documents.
- Typography, line-height and column-width testing.
- Quick prototypes to show a client or a team.
Paragraphs, sentences or words: which mode to pick
Paragraph mode is the most common choice for laying out long blocks of text, like an article or a product description. Sentence mode works for short filler, like a card or a notice. Word mode gives you full control over the exact length, handy for testing character limits on a form field or a button.
Plain text or HTML
Plain text output is ready to paste straight into an editor or a document. HTML output wraps each paragraph in its own <p> tag, ready to paste into a template's or component's markup without adding the tags by hand.
Frequently asked questions
What does Lorem Ipsum text actually mean?
Nothing in particular: it's a scrambled version of a Latin text by Cicero, used for centuries precisely because it doesn't distract the reader with recognizable content.
Why does it always start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet”?
That's the classic opening everyone recognizes as placeholder text. You can turn that option off so the text starts from a different point, handy when you need several blocks that don't all start the same way.
What's the difference between sentence mode and word mode?
Sentence mode generates full sentences with a capital letter and a period, groupable into paragraphs. Word mode gives you a single run of loose words, useful when you need an exact length without any punctuation in the way.
What is the HTML output for?
It wraps each paragraph in a <p> tag, ready to paste directly into a page's or component's markup without adding the tags by hand.
What's the maximum amount of paragraphs or words I can generate?
Up to 20 paragraphs, 50 sentences or 2,000 words per generation — plenty for mocking up any section of a page.
