Lorem Ipsum Generator

Lorem Ipsum is a scrambled passage adapted from Cicero's De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum, a Latin text on ethics written around 45 BC. It isn't real, translatable Latin; the words have been altered and rearranged over centuries of use to the point that it reads as Latin-like nonsense rather than actual sentences. It became a standard in printing after being used by typesetters for centuries, and it spread into modern design through Letraset sheets in the 1960s and desktop publishing software afterward.

The reason designers reach for it instead of real sentences is that meaningful text pulls a reviewer's attention toward reading and judging the words, while nonsense text lets them judge the actual thing being tested, layout, font choice, line length, spacing and visual balance, without getting distracted by content.

This generator lets you specify placeholder text by paragraph, sentence, or word count, with an option to start with the classic opening line, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, which makes it easy to drop realistic-looking filler into a mockup, wireframe, CMS template, or print layout while the real copy is still being written.
