Lorem ipsum generator

Lorem ipsum is the standard placeholder text of the design and printing world. It looks like Latin and has natural-looking word lengths and sentence rhythm, but it doesn't mean anything, so people reviewing a layout focus on the design instead of reading the copy.

The text is derived from a passage of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC. Words were cut, scrambled and altered over time, which is why lorem isn't a real Latin word: it is the tail end of dolorem.

The generator builds new sentences each time from a vocabulary of lorem ipsum words, so you never get the exact same block twice.

Unit	Default	Maximum
Paragraphs	3	50
Sentences	5	200
Words	50	2,000

• Paragraphs contain 4–7 sentences each and are separated by a blank line.
• Sentences are 6–15 words long, capitalized and end with a period; longer ones sometimes get a comma in the middle.
• Words gives exactly the number of words you ask for, ending with a period.
• Start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” makes the text open with the famous phrase, so it's instantly recognizable as placeholder copy.
• Wrap in HTML <p> tags (paragraphs only) outputs <p>…</p> for each paragraph, ready to paste into HTML.

Under the result you see the word and character count, handy when you need to fill a box of a specific size.

A few rules of thumb for filling common layout elements:

Element	Typical amount
Card or teaser text	1–2 sentences (20–40 words)
Product description	1 paragraph (50–100 words)
Blog post mockup	5–8 paragraphs
Footer column	2–3 sentences
Button or menu label	1–3 words

Generate a little more than you think you need; it is easier to delete text than to discover later that a box overflows with real content.

• Website and app mockups, before the real copy is written.
• Print layouts for brochures, magazines and posters.
• Testing how a component handles short and long content: a one-line title, a 200-word card, a 2,000-word article.
• Templates and themes sold to others, where the buyer adds their own text.

Placeholder text has a weakness: real content is rarely so tidy. Headlines run long, product names contain numbers, and user reviews are full of typos. Test with realistic content as soon as possible, and never let lorem ipsum ship to a live site. Search your pages for lorem before launch.

• If you need text in English to judge readability, use a real draft or a public-domain text instead.
• If you need the same phrase many times, use the text repeater.
• If you need a specific length, generate words here and check it with the word counter.
