Lorem Ipsum Generator Instantly

Key Features and Benefits

• check_circle
  Paragraph, Sentence, and Word Modes — Generate placeholder text at the granularity you need. Paragraph mode produces complete blocks of text separated by line breaks -- useful for blog layouts, article templates, and content-heavy pages. Sentence mode gives you individual sentences for shorter text areas like card descriptions, tooltips, or product summaries. Word mode produces a specific word count, which is what you want when filling a space that has a hard character or word limit, like a meta description field or a tweet preview mockup.

  Configurable Output Length — Specify exactly how many paragraphs, sentences, or words you need. Need three paragraphs for a blog post template? Set it to 3. Need 150 words for a product description placeholder? Set it to 150. The generator respects your count precisely rather than giving you a fixed block that you have to trim. This saves the tedious work of counting words manually and cutting text at awkward boundaries.

  Classic and Randomized Variants — The classic variant always starts with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" -- the traditional opening that designers and clients recognize immediately as placeholder text. The randomized variant pulls from the same Latin word pool but shuffles the arrangement, producing text that looks different each time you generate it. Use the classic version when you want it to be obvious that the text is a placeholder. Use the randomized version when you need multiple distinct blocks that do not all start the same way.

  HTML-Wrapped Output — For web development workflows, the generator can wrap output in HTML tags. Paragraphs come wrapped in <p> tags, list items in <li> tags, and headings in the appropriate <h1> through <h6> tags. This saves you from manually adding markup when pasting placeholder content into HTML templates, CMS editors, or component libraries. The wrapped output is ready to drop directly into your code.

  Realistic Text Distribution — The generated text maintains the word length distribution and letter frequency patterns of natural Latin prose. Short words like et, in, and ut appear frequently. Longer words like consectetur and adipiscing appear less often. This statistical realism matters for typography -- a placeholder that uses uniformly long or short words will give you a false impression of how the final text flows, affecting line breaks, hyphenation, and overall page density.

  Instant Copy and Download — Copy the generated text to your clipboard with a single click or download it as a plain text file. For developers working on multiple components simultaneously -- each needing its own placeholder content -- the ability to generate, copy, and paste in seconds keeps the prototyping workflow moving without interruption.

How to Generate Lorem Ipsum Text

1. 1

   Choose Your Generation Mode

   Decide whether you need paragraphs, sentences, or words. For full-page layouts -- landing pages, blog posts, about pages -- paragraphs are the right choice. Each generated paragraph contains between four and eight sentences of varying length, mimicking the rhythm of natural writing. For smaller UI elements -- cards, sidebars, notification banners -- sentences give you tighter control. For very specific constraints -- a 160-character meta description field, a 280-character social media preview -- switch to word mode and fine-tune the count.

2. 2

   Set the Quantity

   Enter the number of units you want. Five paragraphs is a good starting point for article layouts. Two or three sentences work well for card descriptions. Thirty to fifty words fill a typical summary or excerpt field. If you are not sure how much text a design element needs, start with more than you think and reduce. It is easier to spot an element that has too much text than one that has too little, because overflow behavior -- truncation, scrolling, ellipsis -- is exactly what you are trying to test.

3. 3

   Select the Starting Text Option

   Choose whether to begin with the traditional "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" opening or a randomized start. The classic opening acts as a visual signal to everyone on the team that the content is placeholder. This prevents confusion during design reviews where someone might mistake realistic-looking placeholder text for actual approved copy. If you are generating multiple blocks for the same page, use the classic opening for the first block and randomized text for the rest. This keeps the placeholder signal while avoiding repetitive-looking content.

   Generate and Review

   Click the generate button and scan the output. Check that the text length fills your target area appropriately. If you are testing a responsive layout, paste the text into your component at multiple viewport widths to see how it reflows. Pay attention to how the text interacts with images, buttons, and other elements. Placeholder text often reveals layout issues that static wireframes miss -- an overly long word might break a table column, or a paragraph might push a call-to-action button below the fold.

5. 5

   Copy and Insert into Your Project

   Copy the generated text and paste it into your template, prototype, or design file. If you are working in HTML, use the HTML-wrapped output so the paragraph tags are already in place. If you are working in Figma, Sketch, or another design tool, plain text is what you need. Replace the placeholder with real content as soon as it becomes available. Leftover Lorem Ipsum in production is a common embarrassment -- more than a few live websites have shipped with "dolor sit amet" visible to real users. Mark placeholder content clearly in your codebase with comments or TODO tags so it gets caught in review.

Expert Tips for Using Placeholder Text

Related Tools

Placeholder text generation pairs naturally with word and character counting when you need to match specific content constraints. After generating Lorem Ipsum, run it through a word counter to confirm the length matches your design spec, or check the character count against a database field limit or UI constraint. If your prototype uses Markdown for content formatting, preview the placeholder in a Markdown viewer to see how headings, lists, and emphasis render within the layout. These tools together give you a complete prototyping workflow from placeholder generation to content verification.
