How to: Lorem Ipsum Generator
- Choose how many paragraphs, sentences, words or list items.
- Optionally wrap the text in HTML tags.
- Copy the text or download it.
Designers, developers and publishers need realistic-looking filler text to see how a layout will look before the real copy is ready. This generator creates as much lorem ipsum as you need – paragraphs for articles, sentences for cards, a few words for buttons or list items for menus – and can wrap it in HTML ready to paste into a prototype.
Common uses
- Fill website and app mock-ups in Figma, Sketch or HTML prototypes.
- Test how templates handle long and short content before launch.
- Create sample content for print layouts, brochures and magazine pages.
- Populate databases and CMS staging sites with dummy entries.
Tips for best results
- Use the seed value to get different but repeatable text for each section of a mock-up.
- Test with both short and very long content to catch overflow bugs.
- Replace placeholder text with real copy as early as possible – real words often change the design.
- Remember to search for “lorem” before publishing so no filler text goes live.
Choosing the right amount
A typical blog paragraph is 3–5 sentences, a product card description 1–2 sentences, and a hero heading 4–8 words. Generating the amount you actually expect helps you design for reality. If your audience reads German, Finnish or other languages with long words, also test with real translated text, because lorem ipsum's word lengths are closer to English and Latin.
HTML output for developers
With “Wrap in HTML tags” ticked, paragraphs come wrapped in p elements and list items in a ul list, ready to paste into a component, email template or static page. Combine it with the HTML minifier if you need a compact single-line string for tests or fixtures.

Frequently asked questions
Where does lorem ipsum come from
It is scrambled Latin derived from Cicero's “De finibus bonorum et malorum” (45 BC), used by typesetters since at least the 1500s and popularised in desktop publishing in the 1980s.
