Lorem Ipsum Generator
Generate as many paragraphs of lorem ipsum placeholder text as your mockup needs, starting with the classic opening or fully random.

A lorem ipsum generator produces meaningless Latin-looking placeholder text so you can judge a layout's typography and spacing without being distracted by the words. It comes from a scrambled passage of Cicero that typesetters have used since the 1500s.

Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum actually mean?
Nothing coherent. It is a corrupted extract from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, written around 45 BC, with words truncated and shuffled until the meaning disappeared.
Why use placeholder text at all?
Real copy pulls attention to the words. Placeholder text lets you judge line length, leading and hierarchy on their own, which is why designers have used it for five centuries.
Should I use lorem ipsum in a client mockup?
Carefully. It hides the fact that real headlines are longer and real body copy is shorter, and clients often cannot see past it. Use real or realistic copy for anything you are presenting for approval.
How many words are in a paragraph?
Here, four to six sentences of eight to twenty words, so roughly 60 to 130 words - close to a real body paragraph.
Will lorem ipsum hurt my SEO?
Only if it ships. A live page of placeholder text is thin content and looks abandoned. It is harmless in a mockup and embarrassing in production, which happens more often than anyone admits.
Is there an alternative to lorem ipsum?
Plenty, from Bacon Ipsum to Hipster Ipsum. They are more memorable and more distracting, which defeats most of the point.
How do I generate lorem ipsum in my editor?
VS Code has an Emmet abbreviation: type lorem20 and press Tab for twenty words. Most editors have something equivalent.
Is the text the same every time?
No. Each generation shuffles a fresh selection, so two blocks will not look identical in a mockup.
