Create placeholder text for mockups, templates and layouts. Choose paragraphs, sentences or words, and decide whether it starts with the traditional "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet".
Lorem ipsum generator is a free online tool by Hack the Hydra. Generate lorem ipsum placeholder text by paragraphs, sentences or words. Optionally start with the classic opening line. Free, instant, copy or download.
What lorem ipsum is for
Designers use dummy text so people judge the layout, typography and spacing rather than reading the content. Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin adapted from a passage by Cicero, which gives realistic word lengths and letter frequency without distracting meaning.
How this generator works
Words are drawn at random from a list of classic lorem ipsum vocabulary. Sentences have 6 to 14 words, with an occasional comma, and paragraphs have 3 to 6 sentences. Each click produces different text. With the classic opening ticked, the first sentence is always the familiar one, which many templates and tests expect.
Before you launch
Never ship placeholder text. Search your pages for "lorem" before publishing, because search engines index it and it looks unfinished. For real-length testing, generate as many paragraphs as your final content will have, not just one.
