How to use it

  1. Enter how many paragraphs, sentences or words you need and choose the unit.
  2. The text appears at once. Generate again makes a new random version.
  3. Press Copy and paste it into your layout.

Options

  • Start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…”: the first sentence is the well-known opening, so anyone can see at a glance that the text is a placeholder. In word mode the first words are taken from it.
  • Wrap paragraphs in <p> tags: each paragraph becomes <p>…</p>, ready for an HTML page or a CMS editor in code view.

How it works

The generator takes words from the traditional passage, joins 6 to 14 of them into a sentence, starts it with a capital letter, sometimes adds a comma and ends with a full stop. A paragraph holds 4 to 7 sentences. In word mode you get exactly the number of words you asked for, as one sentence. Under the box you see how many words and characters the text has.

Tips

Match the placeholder to the real content: a product card needs one or two sentences, an article layout several long paragraphs. Placeholder text is no substitute for real copy when checking headings and buttons - their length depends on the actual words and on the language, and a translation can be noticeably longer than the original.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lorem ipsum?

Scrambled Latin used as placeholder text in printing and design. It goes back to a passage of Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum" (45 BC) with words cut and changed, so it looks like real text but is not meant to be read.

Why use placeholder text instead of real copy?

It shows how a layout looks with text of a realistic length, without readers getting distracted by what the text says. It also makes unfinished places easy to spot - search the page for "lorem" before it goes live.

Is the generated text random?

Yes. Sentences are made in your browser from the words of the classic passage, 6–14 words each, with 4–7 sentences in a paragraph, so every press of "Generate again" gives a new text. Only the opening sentence is fixed, if you keep it.

How much can I generate?

Up to 50 paragraphs, 500 sentences or 5,000 words at a time.
