Lorem Ipsum Generator is a free online tool that creates placeholder text in the amount and format you choose. Pick a unit -- paragraphs, words, or something more specific -- set how much you need, and click Generate Lorem Ipsum for filler text ready to paste into a layout.
It's built for testing five different situations: paragraphs for body copy in a design mockup, words or sentences when you need an exact count to fit a tight space, list items for testing a bulleted or numbered layout, and a byte count when you're checking how a fixed-width field or database column handles a specific character length. The Start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" option keeps the classic opening intact when you want it recognizable, or turns it off for text that doesn't announce itself as placeholder copy.
Everything runs inside your browser with no server round-trip, so generating text is instant even at the maximum amount of 5,000 units, and the tool keeps working even if your connection drops after the page has loaded. There's nothing sensitive in placeholder text, but the speed and reliability of not depending on a server is the same reason every other tool on this site works the same way.
Enter how many units you need in the Amount box (1 to 5,000).
Pick paragraphs, words, sentences, list items, or bytes from the dropdown.
The placeholder text appears in the Generated Text box below.

Yes, once the page is loaded, the tool will continue to work even if you lose internet connection since it runs in your browser.
There is no strict character limit, but very large amounts of text (100,000+ characters) may slow down your browser.
Yes! All our tools are free for both personal and commercial use.
Paragraphs and sentences group the text into readable blocks, words gives you an exact word count with no paragraph breaks, list items generates one dashed line per item for testing bulleted layouts, and bytes trims the output to an exact character length -- useful when testing a database column or fixed-width field.
Some designers prefer text that doesn't visibly announce itself as placeholder copy, since a client or stakeholder reviewing a mockup might fixate on the recognizable "Lorem ipsum" opening instead of judging the layout. Turning the option off starts the text from a different point in the same word sequence.
No -- it's derived from a scrambled passage of Latin-like text traditionally used by printers and designers since the 1500s, not a grammatically correct Latin sentence. It's intentionally meaningless, which is the point: it looks like real body text at a glance without any words competing for a reader's attention.
Not in a single click -- the Amount field caps out at 5,000 units, whichever type you've selected. For a longer document, generate a few batches and paste them together, or increase the amount setting in your own project once you're past the layout-testing stage.
Yes -- selecting Words and setting an amount of, say, 50 generates exactly 50 words with no extra punctuation or paragraph breaks added, which makes it useful when a field has a strict word limit you want to preview against before writing the real copy.
It's deterministic for a given amount and unit -- the same settings always produce the same text, cycling through the same underlying passage in order rather than picking words at random. If you want different wording each time, changing the amount slightly will shift which part of the passage appears.
