What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin text used as filler since the 1500s. It exists because designers and developers need realistic-looking copy to size layouts, test typography, and judge readability — without the distraction of meaning. The classic opening line ("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…") comes from Cicero's De Finibus, with words randomly reshuffled.
What this tool does
- Three units — generate by paragraphs, sentences, or individual words.
- Counts up to 50 — enough for the longest mock layouts.
- Classic opening — toggle off if you want pure random words.
- HTML output — wrap paragraphs in
<p>tags for direct paste into a CMS or template. - Copy or download — grab your placeholder text in one click.
Tips
- Use shorter paragraphs (1-2 sentences) for buttons, captions, and grid cards.
- Use long paragraphs (4-12 sentences) for article-body simulation.
- If your design needs hyper-realistic copy, mix in real headings — Lorem Ipsum should fool the eye but not the reader.
