Lorem Ipsum Generator
Generate placeholder text in paragraphs, sentences or words. 100% free, no signup. Everything runs in your browser.
This free lorem ipsum generator creates placeholder text in whatever amount you need, by paragraphs, by sentences or by an exact word count. Designers have used lorem ipsum for centuries because it looks like real language without being readable, which keeps everyone looking at the layout instead of arguing about the copy. Fill a mockup with real sentences and the meeting turns into a discussion about wording. Fill it with lorem ipsum and people finally see the spacing, the line length and the typography. Set your amount, choose whether to start with the traditional opening line, and copy the result straight into your design tool, template or code.
How to use
- Enter how many you want, then choose paragraphs, sentences or words from the dropdown.
- Leave the tick box on to start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" opening, which most people expect to see.
- Turn the tick box off when you need several different blocks and do not want them all starting the same way.
- Press Generate. Press it again for a completely different block of the same length.
- Check the word and character count under the box if you are filling a field with a limit.
- Press Copy and paste it into Figma, Word, your CMS, or straight into your HTML.
Why use our lorem ipsum generator?
Most generators only give you paragraphs, which is fine for a blog mockup and useless when you need to fill a 40 character product title or a 15 word summary field. Choosing words as the unit lets you hit an exact length, which matters when you are testing whether a real headline will fit the space you designed for it.
The output varies every time you press Generate, so a page full of cards does not end up with the same sentence repeated, which makes a mockup look artificial. Everything runs in your browser, so it is instant and works offline once the page has loaded. When your layout is filled, the word counter tells you how much real copy you actually need to write to fill the same space, and the case converter fixes the capitalization of headings once the real words arrive.
Who is this tool for?
Designers are the obvious users. Web and UI designers fill wireframes, app screens and email templates so a client reviews the design rather than the wording. Print designers pour it into brochures and magazine spreads to check how columns break. The whole point is to see how a layout behaves before a single real word exists.
Developers use it to test that a component survives contact with real content. A card that looks perfect with three words often falls apart with sixty, and a long unbroken block is the fastest way to find an overflow bug. Content teams use it as a placeholder in a CMS so a page can be built before the copy is signed off. Students and teachers use it when a document needs realistic bulk for a formatting exercise. Anyone who has ever typed "asdfasdf" into a design to see how it looks has been reaching for this tool without knowing it existed.
Frequently asked questions
It is scrambled Latin taken from a work by Cicero written in 45 BC. Typesetters have used it since the 1500s. The words are deliberately meaningless, which is the whole point: your eye sees the shape of text without your brain reading it.
Because random letters do not look like language. Lorem ipsum has realistic word lengths and sentence rhythm, so line breaks, spacing and paragraph shapes behave the way real copy will. Rows of asdfasdf tell you nothing about how your design will look.
Yes. Lorem ipsum is not copyrighted and carries no licence. Use it in client work, templates you sell, or anything else without restriction.
Match your real content. A blog mockup usually needs three to five paragraphs, a product card needs 15 to 25 words, a page title needs 5 to 10. If you know the real limit, switch to words and generate that exact number.
Each press builds a new block, so repeated elements on a page look naturally different instead of suspiciously identical. Press it as many times as you like until you get a block you are happy with.
It happens more often than anyone admits, and it is embarrassing. Before launching, search your site for the word "lorem" and check the results. It is a five second check that has saved a lot of people.
