Free Lorem Ipsum Generator Online

Generate Lorem Ipsum placeholder text for your designs. Customize by paragraphs, sentences, or words.

Last updated

Designers learned a long time ago that putting real copy into a mockup is a trap — clients read the words instead of looking at the layout, the typography choices get lost in arguments about phrasing, and a beautiful grid gets approved or rejected for the wrong reasons. Lorem Ipsum is the workaround. Our free online Lorem Ipsum Generator hands you exactly as much placeholder Latin as you need: a few words for a button label, a sentence for a hero subtitle, three short paragraphs for a card grid, ten long ones for an article template. Pick the unit (words, sentences, or paragraphs), pick the count, click Generate, and the result drops into the output box ready to copy. The text is the standard Cicero-derived Latin that designers have been using since the 1500s, which means it has the right letter frequencies and word lengths to look like real prose without anyone being tempted to read it. Real-world workflows: filling a Figma frame with body copy before the real copywriting is done, populating a card layout in a design system, generating the test content for a CMS template, demonstrating how a typography scale handles long-form text, or simply seeing how a paragraph wraps in a column of a specific width. The output is plain UTF-8 text with no HTML, no Markdown, and no funny characters, so it pastes cleanly into anywhere — Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, an email client, a Word document, a code editor, a CMS field. If you also need to check that the resulting layout will be readable at the chosen font size, the [Readability Checker](/tools/readability-checker) and [Word Count](/tools/word-count) tools sit one click away.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a scrambled passage from Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum" written in 45 BCE, popularised in the 1500s when an unknown printer used it as a typesetting specimen. The first few words of the standard sample ("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet") are actually a fragment of "dolorem ipsum" from that text.
Real copy invites readers (and clients) to react to the words. Latin placeholder text makes the layout, typography, and spacing the focus of the review. It is a small trick that prevents a lot of unproductive feedback during early design rounds.
Yes — set the count to 1. The unit selector controls whether you get one word, one sentence, or one paragraph.
Yes for the first paragraph, which is the convention designers expect. Subsequent paragraphs are generated from the same vocabulary pool but vary in word order.
You should not — Lorem Ipsum in production looks unprofessional and confuses real users. Use it only during design and prototyping. Once the layout is approved, replace it with real copy from a writer.
Practical limit is several thousand paragraphs. The output area handles long results without lag, but most use cases ask for under 20 paragraphs.
