How to generate lorem ipsum
- Choose Generate: paragraphs, sentences or words.
- Set How many you need.
- Keep Start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” on for the classic opening, or turn it off for fully random text.
- Press Copy to paste the text into your design file or page. You can also download it as a text file.
What you get
The text appears as soon as you change an option. Paragraphs are made of four to seven sentences, and sentences have six to fourteen words with an occasional comma. The first letter of each sentence is a capital, and each ends with a full stop. When you ask for words, you get that exact number, in lower case with no punctuation.
The word list is built into the tool, and each word is chosen using your browser’s secure random generator. Nothing is fetched from the web, so the tool works even when your connection is slow.
The tiles show the word count and character count of what was made. That is handy when a design has a fixed space and you need text of about the right length.
Tips
- Check your layout with both short and long text. Real content is rarely as even as generated paragraphs.
- To test a limit such as a 160-character description, paste the result into the character counter and trim it.
- Need a count of words for a mockup? The word counter gives the total, with reading time.
- Change the look of the sample with the case converter, for example to Title Case headings.
Good to know
Placeholder text is meant to be replaced before you publish. Search engines and readers notice pages that still show filler. Leave the classic first line on if your client expects it, since many people recognise it at once. Turn it off if you want text that looks less familiar, for example when you share a mockup outside your team.
