Lorem ipsum is the placeholder text designers and developers have used for decades to fill layouts before the real copy is ready. It's based on a scrambled passage from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum, written in 45 BC. Because it looks like natural text, with realistic word lengths and sentence rhythm, but can't be read, it lets people judge a design's typography and spacing without getting distracted by what the words say. This free lorem ipsum generator creates as much as you need in seconds. Choose paragraphs, sentences, words or list items, set the amount, and decide whether to start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…" opening. Output it as plain text or wrapped in HTML tags (<p>, <li>), ready to paste into a mock-up, a CMS, a template or a test fixture. A live count shows the words and characters generated, which is handy when you're testing how a layout copes with a headline of exactly 60 characters or a 300-word card. Each click produces fresh, varied text from the traditional word list, so repeated blocks don't look copy-pasted. Remember to replace placeholder text before you publish: search engines and readers notice.

FAQ
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It’s scrambled Latin from Cicero (45 BC), so it has no real meaning, which is the point.
Why not use real text?
Readable text distracts reviewers from the design. Use real copy as soon as it’s available.
Can I get HTML?
Yes. Tick “Wrap in HTML tags” for <p> or <li> markup.
Is it free to use?
Yes, without limits or attribution.
