What Is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text. Designers, developers and writers use it to show how a page will look before the real words are ready. The text looks like normal writing, with words and sentences of natural length, but it has no meaning, so it does not distract people from the layout. It comes from a work of Latin by the Roman writer Cicero, scrambled and shortened.
How to Generate Lorem Ipsum
- Choose whether you want paragraphs, sentences or words.
- Type how many you need. The text appears at once.
- Keep Start with Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ticked for the classic opening, or untick it for fully random text.
- Press Copy text and paste it into your design, document or page. Press Generate again for a new version.
When Should You Use Placeholder Text?
- In website and app mockups, to check spacing, fonts and line lengths.
- In templates, newsletters and print layouts that will be filled in later.
- When you test how a page handles short and long text.
- When you want a client to judge the design, not the wording.
Before you publish, replace all placeholder text with real content. Search engines and visitors do not value pages that still contain Lorem Ipsum.
The HTML Option
For paragraphs you can tick Wrap paragraphs in HTML p tags. Each paragraph is then wrapped in opening and closing p tags, so you can paste the result straight into an HTML page.
Limits to Know About
- You can generate up to 100 paragraphs, 500 sentences or 5,000 words at a time.
- The text is random every time, apart from the classic opening sentence, so two results are never the same.
- The generator uses a short word list, so long texts repeat words.
