How to Generate Lorem Ipsum Text

1. Choose your mode. Generate by paragraphs, sentences, or exact word count. Paragraphs are best for filling page layouts. Sentences work for headlines and short blocks. Word count gives you precise control.

2. Set the amount. Use the slider or type a number. Generate up to 20 paragraphs, 50 sentences, or 500 words at a time.

3. Click Regenerate to get a new random variation. Each generation produces different text while maintaining the Lorem Ipsum style.

4. Copy with one click. The generated text is ready to paste into Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, HTML, WordPress, or any other tool.

When to Use Lorem Ipsum

Web design mockups: Fill page layouts in Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD to show clients how the final site will look before copywriting begins.

Frontend development: Populate components, cards, and templates with realistic-length text while building the UI. Test how layouts handle different content lengths.

Print design: Fill brochures, magazines, and book layouts with placeholder text to evaluate typography, margins, and column widths.

WordPress and CMS themes: Add placeholder content to theme demos and previews so buyers can visualize the layout before purchasing.

Presentations: Fill slide layouts with placeholder text to demonstrate templates and visual designs.

Email templates: Test responsive email layouts with different content lengths to ensure they render correctly across email clients.

The History of Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum has been the standard placeholder text since the 1500s when an unknown printer scrambled a passage from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC.

The text became widely used in the typesetting industry and survived the transition to electronic typesetting in the 1960s. Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages were used by designers worldwide, and it was later adopted by desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.

Today, Lorem Ipsum remains the industry standard for placeholder text. Its Latin-like appearance provides a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that closely resembles English text, making it ideal for evaluating visual design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in design and publishing since the 1500s. It resembles Latin but is intentionally scrambled so it does not distract from the visual layout. Designers use it to fill space in mockups, prototypes, and templates before real content is ready.

Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?

Real text draws attention to the content itself rather than the design. Lorem Ipsum lets designers, clients, and developers evaluate layout, typography, and spacing without being distracted by readable words. It also avoids the bias of using draft content that might be mistaken for final copy.

Can I generate a specific number of words?

Yes. Switch the mode to 'words' and set the exact number you need. The generator supports up to 500 words in a single generation. You can also generate by paragraphs (up to 20) or sentences (up to 50).

Is this real Latin?

No. Lorem Ipsum is derived from a passage by Cicero written in 45 BC, but the text has been altered and scrambled over centuries. The words resemble Latin but many are not actual Latin words. The purpose is visual similarity, not linguistic accuracy.

Does the classic opening always start the same way?

When the 'Start with classic Lorem ipsum' option is enabled, the text always begins with 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.' This is the traditional opening used since the 1960s. You can disable this option for fully randomized text.

Can I use this generated text commercially?

Yes. Lorem Ipsum is in the public domain and has no copyright restrictions. You can use the generated placeholder text in any project, commercial or personal, without attribution.

How many words are in a typical paragraph?

Each generated paragraph contains 4-8 sentences with 6-16 words per sentence, resulting in roughly 40-100 words per paragraph. This mirrors the length of a natural English paragraph for realistic layout testing.

Is this tool free?

Yes. The generator is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no ads. It runs entirely in your browser and your generated text is never sent to a server.
