About this tool

Placeholder text lets designers judge typography, spacing and layout before the real copy exists, without readers getting distracted by meaningful words. Lorem ipsum is the traditional choice: scrambled Latin derived from a passage by Cicero, with a natural rhythm of word lengths that resembles real prose. This generator produces any number of paragraphs, sentences or words, with an option to begin with the familiar "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet". Use short counts for buttons and headings and several paragraphs to test articles and long-form layouts. Remember to replace it before launch: placeholder text left on live pages looks unfinished to visitors and is treated as low-value content by search engines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does Lorem ipsum come from?

It is based on "De finibus bonorum et malorum", a philosophical text written by Cicero in 45 BC. Printers in the 1500s scrambled and shortened the passage to use as filler, and it has been used in typesetting ever since.

Does Lorem ipsum mean anything?

Not really. The words are Latin fragments and altered words taken out of context, so the text looks like language without being readable, which keeps attention on the design.

Should I use Lorem ipsum or real content in mockups?

Placeholder text is fine for early layout decisions. As soon as possible, test with realistic content, including long names, translations and edge cases, because real text often breaks layouts that looked perfect with Lorem ipsum.

How many words are in a paragraph?

Each generated paragraph has four to seven sentences of 6 to 17 words, so a paragraph is roughly 25–120 words long. Choose "Words" if you need an exact word count.

Is placeholder text bad for SEO if it goes live?

Yes. Pages with Lorem ipsum offer nothing to readers, look unfinished and can be treated as thin content. Keep placeholder pages out of production or block them from indexing until the real copy is in place.
