What does "Include tags" do?

When this option is on, each paragraph is wrapped in HTML tags instead of being separated by blank lines, giving you markup like Lorem ipsum... . It is ready to paste directly into an HTML document or a content management system. The option appears only when you are generating paragraphs.

Lorem Ipsum Generator - Placeholder Text for Designs

Lorem Ipsum Generator for Placeholder Text

This Lorem Ipsum generator creates placeholder text for designers, developers, and content creators in seconds. Instead of writing real copy while a layout is still in progress, you drop in dummy text to fill mockups, test typography, and preview how the finished design will read.

You can generate full Paragraphs, flowing Sentences, or loose Words, and dial in the exact amount by item count, total word count, or total character count. Switch the language to produce filler text that fits a different character set, then edit the result inline and copy it with one click.

Private by design: after the page loads, every word is generated locally in your browser, and your settings are saved only in your own browser storage. The text you create is never uploaded to a server.

How to Generate Lorem Ipsum Text

Text regenerates automatically whenever you change a setting, so you can experiment freely and see the result right away.

Choose a text type

Pick Paragraphs for structured blocks, Sentences for continuous flowing text, or Words for individual words without punctuation.

Set the amount

Enter how much you need, then choose the unit: an item count (paragraphs, sentences, or words), a total words target, or a total characters target. The generator trims the output to match.

Select a language

Open the Language dropdown and search for the language you want. Each language uses its own word list; if one isn't available, it falls back to the classic Latin Lorem Ipsum.

Tune the options

Keep Start with "Lorem ipsum..." on to begin with the traditional opening (shown for English), or turn on Include tags to wrap each block in HTML when generating paragraphs.

Edit and copy

Adjust the text directly in the output box if you like — the word and character counts update as you type. Press Copy to send it to your clipboard, or Regenerate to shuffle a fresh version with the same settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is scrambled placeholder text that the printing and typesetting industry has used since the 1500s. It is derived from a Latin passage by Cicero, jumbled so it reads as nonsense while keeping a natural word distribution. Designers use this dummy text to show a layout without distracting anyone with real content.

Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum?

Placeholder text keeps reviewers focused on the design rather than the words. When real copy appears too early, people start reading and critiquing the wording instead of evaluating layout, typography, and spacing. Neutral filler text removes that distraction so feedback stays on the visuals.

How do I generate Lorem Ipsum text?

Choose a text type, set the amount, and the generator produces the text automatically. Adjust the language or options and it updates instantly. When you are happy with it, press Copy to put it on your clipboard, or Regenerate for a fresh variation with the same settings.

Can I generate by words, paragraphs, or characters?

Yes. Pick the text type — paragraphs, sentences, or words — then set the quantity by an item count, a total word count, or a total character count. The character and word units trim the output to hit your exact target, which is handy for testing field limits and tight layout spaces.

How much placeholder text should I generate?

Aim for roughly the amount the final design will hold. A blog post might need three to five paragraphs, while a product blurb may only need a sentence or two. Matching the real content length helps you confirm the layout holds up with a realistic volume of text.

Can I edit the generated text?

Yes — the output box is fully editable. Add, remove, or change words and the word and character counts update in real time. Edits are temporary: changing a setting or regenerating replaces them with fresh text.
