How does this tool work?
Generate placeholder text to test the layout of a website, an app or a document before the final copy is ready. Choose a number of paragraphs, sentences or words, then check the length actually produced with the word and character counters. The text is created in your browser.
Choose the unit (paragraphs, sentences or words) and a quantity from 1 to 100. Words are drawn at random from a Latin vocabulary of about sixty words taken from the classic passage. A sentence has 8 to 16 words, starts with a capital letter and ends with a full stop; a paragraph groups 4 to 6 sentences, and paragraphs are separated by a blank line.
The classic option, on by default, replaces the first sentence with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.”. In words mode, it puts the first words of this phrase at the start without changing the total: three words give “Lorem ipsum dolor”, ten words give the five words of the phrase followed by five random words. Everything else changes with each generation.
Placeholder text is for testing a layout: block heights, line breaks, paragraph spacing, behaviour on mobile. It reproduces neither the average word length nor the punctuation and special characters of a real language, so also test the design with genuine headings, then replace every placeholder before publishing, including descriptions and alternative text.
How to use this tool
Choose the unit
Select paragraphs, sentences or words depending on the element to fill.
Set the quantity
Enter a number between 1 and 100 and keep or untick the “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” opening.
Generate and check
Generate the text, check the word and character counters, then copy the result.
Use cases
Checking a long page
Generate several paragraphs to check the spacing and reading comfort of an article layout.
Filling a prototype
Fill the editorial areas before the final copy, without presenting the placeholder as publishable content.
Examples
Classic mode, three words
The requested number of words is respected, even below the five words of the phrase.
Input

Lorem ipsum dolorClassic mode, two sentences

Input

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Duis aute irure dolor reprehenderit velit esse cillum.Two paragraphs
The first paragraph starts with the classic sentence.
Input
Paragraphs: 2; classic: onResult
Two blocks separated by a blank line, with 4 to 6 sentences each, i.e. roughly 32 to 96 words per paragraph.Tips and best practices
- Pick a volume close to the expected content: a product card and an article page are not tested with the same quantity.
- Also test the layout with your real headings: word length, special characters and links can change line breaks.
- For a precise character limit, generate words and adjust the quantity while watching the character counter.
Frequently asked questions
Which output types are available?
Paragraphs (4 to 6 sentences, separated by a blank line), sentences (8 to 16 words) or a plain run of words.
How much text can I request?
From 1 to 100 items, whatever the type. A value outside these limits is brought back to 1 or 100.
What is classic mode for?
It starts the text with the well-known Latin phrase “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet”, which immediately flags the text as temporary. In words mode, the requested total is still respected.
Does the text mean anything?
No. The words are Latin but drawn at random: the text cannot be translated and should never be published as it is.
Can I check the length?
Yes. The result shows the number of words generated and the number of characters, spaces included.
