Lorem Ipsum

Because writing real copy is for copywriters.

About, how to use & limitations

About Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum generator creates placeholder text for mockups, wireframes and layouts. Choose paragraphs (up to 50), sentences (up to 100) or words (up to 500), and the dummy text updates instantly, ready to copy with one click. Turn Random on to shuffle sentences and words for varied filler, or off to get the classic text starting with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet". Designers and front-end developers use lorem ipsum to test typography, spacing and text overflow before the real copy exists, because nobody wants to wait on the copywriter to check a line height.

How to use

  1. Pick Paragraphs, Sentences or Words from the Type dropdown.
  2. Enter how many to generate in the Count field, up to 50 paragraphs, 100 sentences or 500 words; out-of-range values are corrected when you leave the field.
  3. Turn the Random switch on for shuffled text, or off to start with the classic Lorem ipsum passage.
  4. The text box below updates instantly; click Copy to copy the generated text.

Limitations & notes

  • Counts are limited to 50 paragraphs, 100 sentences or 500 words; switching Type lowers the count to the new limit if needed, for example 500 words becomes 50 paragraphs.
  • You can clear the Count field and type a new number; while it is empty the text shows the default of 3.
  • Random sentences are drawn from five fixed Latin paragraphs, so repeats are common.
  • There is no regenerate button; random text changes only when you change Type, Count or the Random switch.

FAQ

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin used as placeholder text in design and publishing. It fills a layout with realistic-looking text so people focus on the design instead of reading the words.
Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?
It is derived from "De finibus bonorum et malorum", a philosophical work by Cicero written in 45 BC, with words cut and altered so it no longer reads as proper Latin.
What does the Random toggle do?
With Random on, sentences and words are picked at random, so each paragraph differs. With it off, you get the same fixed text every time, starting with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet".
How much text can I generate?
Up to 50 paragraphs, 100 sentences, or 500 words at once.
