Lorem Ipsum Generator
Generate placeholder text for mockups and layouts. Runs entirely in your browser.
Using placeholder text
Placeholder text fills a layout so you can judge spacing, line length and wrapping before the real copy exists. Generate as many paragraphs as you need, copy them out, then measure the result with the word counter, convert the casing with the text case converter, or tidy data with the JSON formatter.
Frequently asked questions
What is Lorem ipsum and why use it?
Lorem ipsum is placeholder text used in design, print and publishing to preview layouts and mockups, so reviewers judge the structure rather than the wording.
Is the generated text uploaded?
No. Generation happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is stored between visits.
Can I get HTML paragraphs?
Yes. Tick the HTML option and each paragraph is wrapped in a
tag, ready to drop into a page.
How do I set the amount of text?
Choose the number of paragraphs (1-20). Leave the sentences box at 0 for natural-length paragraphs, or set a fixed number of sentences per paragraph.
Does it start with Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet?
By default yes. You can untick the option if you want the text to start with random words instead.
Can I check the word count of what I generated?
Yes — the generator shows an approximate word count, and you can paste the result into the word counter for an exact figure.
