Lorem Ipsum Generator
Generate placeholder text for designs and mockups
Lorem ipsum is the standard placeholder text used by designers, developers, and content creators when building layouts, mockups, and prototypes. It provides realistic-looking text that fills space without distracting from the visual design being reviewed.
The text has roots in a 2,000-year-old work by Cicero, but its modern use dates to the 1960s when the Letraset company included it in their dry-transfer lettering sheets. It became ubiquitous with the rise of desktop publishing in the 1980s when Aldus included it in PageMaker templates. Today it's used by virtually every design tool from Figma to Adobe Creative Suite.
According to a survey by UX design platform Maze (2023), 78% of designers use lorem ipsum or similar placeholder text during the wireframing phase. The key advantage is that it has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that closely mimics English text, making designs look realistic without anyone getting distracted by readable content.
This generator lets you create exactly the amount of text you need — whether that's a single sentence for a button label or ten paragraphs for a long-form content layout. All text is generated instantly in your browser.

Pro Tips
- Match real content length: Generate placeholder text that matches the expected final content length. A design that looks great with 2 sentences might break with 2 paragraphs.
- Test edge cases: Generate both very short and very long text to see how your layout handles different content lengths.
- Use for email templates: When building email templates, lorem ipsum helps test how text wraps across different email clients without getting distracted by content.
