About this tool
Lorem ipsum is placeholder text used to fill a layout before the real copy exists, so reviewers judge the design and not the words. This generator builds it from a list of classic Latin words into sentences of 6 to 16 words and paragraphs of 3 to 7 sentences, which looks like natural body text.
Choose paragraphs, sentences or words, set the count, and decide whether the text opens with the traditional Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet line. Output can be plain text or wrapped in HTML paragraph tags. The text is generated in your browser the moment you change a setting, so there is nothing to wait for.

Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It is scrambled Latin, adapted from a text by Cicero. The words are not meant to be read, which keeps attention on the layout instead of the content.
How many words does a paragraph contain?
Each paragraph holds 3 to 7 sentences and each sentence has 6 to 16 words, so a paragraph runs between 18 and 112 words.
Can I get exactly 50 words?
Yes. Choose Words and enter 50. The count is exact, and it includes the opening words when the opening line switch is on.
Will two runs give the same text?
No. Each click on Generate uses a new random seed, so the sentences differ. The text always comes from the same Latin word list.
Should I leave placeholder text on a live site?
It is meant for drafts and mockups. Replace it with real copy before publishing, because visitors and search engines treat filler text as low-value content.
