About this tool
Why lorem ipsum exists
Placeholder Latin has been the design industry standard for five centuries — readable enough to show text rhythm, meaningless enough that nobody proofreads it. Layouts built with real copy get reviewed for the words; layouts built with lorem ipsum get reviewed for the design.
Generating the right amount
Generate by paragraphs for page mockups, by sentences for card and component fills, and by words or list items for tight spots like buttons and headlines. Generate more than you need and trim — the output is plain text you can cut anywhere.
Finishing the layout
Lorem text is uniform by nature, so use it to check how layouts handle repetition and length. Before shipping, replace it with real copy and run the word counter to confirm everything fits the space the placeholder measured.
Frequently asked questions
What is lorem ipsum, actually?
Scrambled fragments of Cicero's writing on ethics, cut and shuffled so the words look like Latin without forming readable sentences. It has been the printing and design industry's placeholder since the 1500s.
Can I generate a specific number of words?
Yes — generate by paragraphs, sentences, words, or list items. The counts apply exactly, so component-sized fills are precise.
Is it copyrighted?
No — the underlying text is two thousand years old and the scrambling is industry-standard. Use it freely in any mockup or comp.
