How to generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text
Designers and developers use placeholder text to judge layouts before the real copy exists, so attention stays on typography and spacing rather than on the words. Lorem Ipsum Generator produces as much or as little filler as you need, formatted for wherever you are pasting it.
Where Lorem Ipsum comes from
The classic text is scrambled Latin derived from a work by Cicero written in 45 BC. It has been used by typesetters for centuries because its mix of word lengths looks like natural language without being readable enough to distract.
Styles and formats
Choose what fits your mockup:
- Classic: traditional Lorem Ipsum.
- Hipster, Office and Tech: themed filler that is fun for demos and clearly not final copy.
- Plain text, HTML with paragraph tags, or Markdown output.
- Paragraphs, sentences or words, from 1 to 50.
A word of caution
Placeholder text sometimes ships by accident. Before launch, search your pages for lorem or ipsum. Layouts can also look better with filler than with real copy, so test with realistic lengths when you can.
Choosing the right amount
For a blog layout, three to five paragraphs show how body text flows. For cards and buttons, generate a few words or a single sentence to test truncation. Use HTML output to paste straight into templates, and Markdown output for documentation sites and static site generators.
