What Is the Lorem Ipsum Generator?
The Lorem Ipsum Generator creates placeholder text for design mockups, wireframes, and development prototypes. It produces realistic-looking Latin text in paragraphs, sentences, or individual words so you can focus on layout and typography without waiting for real content.
How to Use the Lorem Ipsum Generator
Generating placeholder text takes just a few clicks. Choose your output format, set the quantity, and hit Generate.
- Select a type: Paragraphs for body text blocks, Sentences for shorter fills, or Words for inline placeholders.
- Enter the quantity you need, from 1 to 100 units.
- Toggle "Start with Lorem ipsum..." to begin with the classic opening phrase or leave it off for random text.
- Click Generate to produce the text.
- Copy the result to your clipboard with the copy button.
When to Use Placeholder Text
Placeholder text is essential during early design phases when real copy is not yet available. It lets you evaluate font sizes, line heights, spacing, and overall page balance. Developers use it to test dynamic content rendering, text overflow behavior, and responsive layouts.
Common Use Cases
- Filling website mockups and wireframes during the design phase.
- Testing typography, font sizes, and line spacing in CSS.
- Populating prototype pages for client presentations.
- Checking text wrapping and overflow in responsive layouts.
- Generating sample content for CMS templates and themes.
Tips for Better Mockups
Match the placeholder quantity to realistic content lengths. If a blog post is typically 500 words, generate roughly that amount so the mockup reflects the real experience. Use paragraphs for body sections and individual words or sentences for headings, captions, and UI labels.
The built-in word and character counts help you verify that the generated text matches your target length before pasting it into your project.
