What does lorem ipsum mean?

It is not real Latin you can translate. It is a scrambled extract from Cicero's writing from 45 BC, used since the 1500s so that placeholder text looks like normal text without carrying a meaning.

Why does the same text appear again?

The generator is repeatable: the same settings and the same seed always give the same text, so a layout can be reproduced. Click Shuffle to get a different text.

Can I get text of an exact length?

Choose the Characters unit. The text is cut to at most that many characters at the end of a word and finished with a full stop, so it fits a field limit without breaking a word in half.

Is the text free to use?

Yes. Lorem ipsum is derived from a public-domain text and the generated placeholder can be used freely in any design, mock-up or website.

What is Lorem Ipsum Generator?

Lorem ipsum is placeholder text that designers and developers use to fill a layout before the real words exist. Because it looks like ordinary text but cannot be read as meaningful content, it lets you judge typography, spacing and page structure without being distracted by what the copy says. It has been the printing and design industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s.

The words come from a work by the Roman writer Cicero, "On the Ends of Good and Evil", written in 45 BC, which has been scrambled over the centuries into the familiar pseudo-Latin that begins with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet". This lorem ipsum generator builds new text from the vocabulary of that passage. Choose how much you need in paragraphs, sentences, words or characters, and the tool creates natural-looking text with sentences of different lengths, commas in the right places and paragraphs of three to seven sentences.

You can start the text with the classic first line or leave it out, copy plain text or ready-made HTML with paragraph or list tags, see the exact counts of paragraphs, sentences, words and characters, and download the result. The text depends only on your settings, so the same settings always give the same text, which is handy when you need to reproduce a layout, and the Shuffle button makes a new version. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.

How to use

Choose the unit, such as paragraphs, and how many you need.
Decide whether the text should start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" line.
Pick plain text or HTML (paragraph tags or a bullet list) for the output.
Click Shuffle for a different text, then Copy text or Download to take it with you.
Use the character option to fill a field with a length limit, for example 160 characters.

Example

Input

1 paragraph, classic opening
