Lorem ipsum is placeholder text used by designers, developers and publishers to fill a layout before the real copy is ready. It looks like natural text but is deliberately meaningless, so viewers focus on design and typography rather than reading.
This free lorem ipsum generator creates as many paragraphs, sentences or words as you need. Choose whether to start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet", wrap paragraphs in HTML p tags, then copy the text or download it as a .txt or .html file.
It is ideal for website mockups, WordPress theme testing, print layouts, slide templates and app prototypes.
Choose paragraphs, sentences or words, set how many you need, and press Generate. Copy the placeholder text or download it as .txt or .html. Tick the HTML option to wrap each paragraph in p tags ready for web layouts.
Match the amount of placeholder text to the real copy you expect, so the layout is realistic.
Paragraphs for articles, sentences for cards, words for buttons and headings.
Use the slider to pick how many you need.
Start with the classic opening line and wrap paragraphs in p tags if needed.
Paste into your design tool, CMS or code, or save as a file.
The text is scrambled Latin taken from a classical work by Cicero, "De finibus bonorum et malorum", written in 45 BC.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
It has been used as filler text by typesetters for centuries and became standard in desktop publishing software in the 1980s.
Typical amounts for common layouts.
Lorem ipsum is a design tool. Know when real content works better.

| Testing typography and spacing | Usability testing with real users |
| Filling sample content in a CMS | Anything that will go live |
Used well, placeholder text speeds design up. Used badly, it hides problems.
It comes from a scrambled passage of Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum". The words are partly Latin but the text has no real meaning.
Meaningless text keeps viewers focused on layout, spacing and typography instead of reading and reacting to the words.
Yes. Lorem ipsum is not copyrighted and is free to use anywhere.
Tick "Wrap paragraphs in p tags", then copy or download as .html.

Only if it is published. Google may index pages with placeholder text, which looks low quality. Replace it before launch.
