Lorem ipsum generator - dummy text (copy and paste)

A Lorem Ipsum generator creates placeholder text you can paste into designs, wireframes, templates, and mockups. It lets you preview layout and typography before your final copy is ready.

Use it when you need realistic-looking text blocks without spending time writing real content yet.

1. Choose what to generate: Pick paragraphs, sentences, or words.
2. Set the count: Decide how much dummy text you need.
3. Generate and copy: Click Generate, then copy the output into your design or doc.

• Faster layout work: You can focus on spacing and hierarchy without waiting for copy.
• Consistent output: Generate the same style of filler text across pages and components.
• Easy handoff: Designers, writers, and developers can share one source of placeholder text.

How much Lorem Ipsum should you generate?

It depends on what you’re testing:

If you have real constraints (like a 160-character meta description), generate a short block, then trim and measure it.

Use case 1: wireframes and UI mockups

When you’re building a new screen, you need text blocks to test line length, wrapping, and empty states. Lorem Ipsum keeps the content neutral while you iterate on layout.

Use case 2: typography and spacing checks

Use dummy text to check font size, line height, and paragraph spacing across breakpoints. It’s also useful when you’re comparing type scales or a new theme.

Use case 3: templates and components

If you’re building reusable components, placeholder text helps you preview “normal” content before you connect real data.

Basic example: 25 words

Settings: Words, Count = 25
Output (example):

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua ut enim ad minim

Sentence example: placeholder microcopy

Settings: Sentences, Count = 3
Output (example):

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam quis nostrud exercitation.

Advanced example: HTML paragraphs for a page template

Settings: Paragraphs, Count = 2, Output format = HTML
Output:

<p>
  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
  et dolore magna aliqua.
</p>
<p>
  Ut enim ad minim veniam quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
  consequat.
</p>

“I generated too much text”

If your layout becomes slow or hard to edit, generate fewer paragraphs and duplicate them only where you need full-length screens.

“My placeholder text length doesn’t match my real copy”

Real copy often has shorter sentences than Lorem Ipsum. After you generate text, use the Word Counter to match a target word or character limit.

“I pasted Lorem Ipsum into production”

This happens. The fix is process, not more text.

Fix: add a pre-launch checklist item to search your site for lorem and ipsum. If you’re working in a codebase, a simple search for “lorem ipsum” in your repo catches it early.

“Screen readers read my placeholders like real content”

Lorem Ipsum is fine for visual layout tests, but it can be misleading in accessibility reviews because it looks like real content.

Fix: when you’re testing accessibility or user comprehension, replace Lorem Ipsum with short, descriptive placeholders that explain intent (example: “Short product summary goes here”).

• Match real constraints: If your UI has a 160-character meta description limit, generate a short block and trim to fit, then verify with the Word Counter.
• Keep components honest: Test edge cases with shorter and longer blocks so you see wrapping issues early.
• Store snippets locally: Save a few “standard” paragraphs in the Online Notepad to reuse across projects.
• Prefer meaningful placeholders for UX reviews: When you’re checking comprehension, use human-readable placeholders instead of Latin filler.

• Count characters and words with the Word Counter.
• Draft quick placeholder copy in the Online Notepad.
• Repeat a short block to fill a layout using the Repeat Text Generator.
• Turn headings into URL slugs with the Slugify URL Generator.
