How to use the Lorem Ipsum Generator

  1. 1

    Choose what to generate at the top of the tool, paragraphs, sentences, words or list items, and set how many with the box or the slider.

  2. 2

    Pick a flavour. Classic Latin is the traditional filler; startup jargon, plain English and office memo give layouts a more realistic feel.

  3. 3

    Choose plain text, HTML or Markdown output, and tune the words per sentence and sentences per paragraph if your design needs shorter or longer copy.

  4. 4

    Press Generate (or Ctrl+Enter) for new text. The seed under the options reproduces the exact same text later, so you can share it with a teammate.

  5. 5

    Copy the result or download it as a .txt, .html or .md file.

Why designers use filler text

Real copy pulls attention. Show a stakeholder a layout with actual headlines and the discussion turns to the wording instead of the grid, the type scale or the spacing. Filler text that looks like language but carries no meaning keeps the review on the design. That is the job lorem ipsum has done since early typesetters scrambled a passage of Cicero, and it is why the tradition survives in every design tool today.

This generator goes further than the classic paragraphs. You can generate single words for buttons and labels, short list items for navigation and feature lists, or sentences of a chosen length for cards and captions, and shape the output as plain text, HTML or Markdown.

Realistic length matters

Latin words are longer than English ones on average, so a Latin mockup can hide line breaks and overflows that appear the moment real text arrives. The plain English flavour gives more realistic word lengths. Use the length ranges to match the copy you expect: a product card might need sentences of six to ten words, a blog layout paragraphs of five to eight sentences.

Every result comes from a seed. The same seed and options always produce the same text, which keeps screenshots stable and lets a teammate regenerate exactly what you see.

Check the length of real copy against your design with the Word Counter. To draft formatted content in Markdown and preview it, use the Markdown Preview.

Frequently asked questions

What is lorem ipsum?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin derived from a text by Cicero, used since the 1500s as placeholder copy in typesetting and design. Because it reads like language without carrying meaning, reviewers look at the layout, type and spacing instead of the words.
Why would I use a different flavour than Latin?
Latin is neutral, but it does not behave like real copy: English words are shorter on average and break lines differently. The plain English flavour gives a more realistic line length, and the startup jargon and office memo sets make mockups for dashboards and internal tools feel closer to the real thing.
What does the seed do?
The text is produced by a seeded random generator, so the same seed with the same options always gives exactly the same text. Note the seed when you want to regenerate a mockup later or share identical filler with a colleague. Generate and Reroll pick a new seed.
Is the HTML output safe to paste into a page?
Yes. Paragraphs are wrapped in <p> tags and list items in a <ul>, and the generated words never contain markup. The output is ready to paste into a template, a CMS or a design prototype.
Should placeholder text ship to production?
No. Lorem ipsum left on a live page looks broken to visitors and can be indexed by search engines. Use it while designing, then replace it with real copy before launch. Searching your project for lorem before release is a cheap safety check.
Is anything sent to a server?
No. The text is generated in your browser from a built-in word list. The page works offline once loaded, and your settings are saved only in this browser.
