Lorem Ipsum generator

Clean dummy text for your mock-ups, in one click.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

It is placeholder text used for centuries by printers, and today by designers and developers, to fill a layout without the reader being distracted by the meaning of the words. It looks like Latin, with words of varying length and realistic punctuation, which gives a faithful idea of the final result.

It comes from a real text: Cicero's treatise *De finibus bonorum et malorum*, written in 45 BC, with passages truncated and scrambled. "Lorem" is in fact the end of the word "dolorem".

Footer, legal notice	1 paragraph

Good practice

Test the extremes: a very long heading, a one-word product name. A layout that only works with medium-length text will break with real content.
Replace it before going live: a site published with Lorem Ipsum looks unfinished, and Google may judge those pages low quality.
Think about other languages: German or Finnish have much longer words, and Arabic is written right to left. For a multilingual site, test with real translated text too.

And accessibility?

Screen readers try to pronounce Lorem Ipsum, which makes accessibility testing less meaningful. For those tests, use provisional text written in the site's language.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the length?

Yes: generate a precise number of paragraphs, sentences or words.

Does Lorem Ipsum mean anything?

It comes from a text by Cicero, but the words have been cut and scrambled: it no longer makes sense, and that is intentional.

Can I use it freely?

Yes. It is public domain text, usable in all your projects, personal or commercial.

Is the text generated online?

No, it is generated in your browser.
