Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used as placeholder content in design, publishing, and web development. It's derived from a scrambled Latin passage by Cicero (c. 45 BC) and has been the industry standard for placeholder text since the 1500s when a printer rearranged the text for a type specimen book. Its word-length and letter distribution closely resemble natural English, making it ideal for realistic layout previews.

Which style should I use?

Classic Latin is the universal choice for neutral layouts. Use Hipster for lifestyle brands, cafes, and creative portfolios. Corporate is perfect for B2B SaaS mockups and enterprise dashboards. Tech works for developer tools and API documentation. Pirate and Bacon are fun themed options for games, food blogs, or when you want to add personality to internal prototypes.

What's the difference between generation modes?

Paragraphs (3-7 sentences) are for body copy layouts. Sentences (5-15 words) work for headlines, subheads, and card descriptions. Words give you individual tokens for buttons and labels. Characters let you hit exact length targets — perfect for meta descriptions (155 chars), tweets (280 chars), SMS (160 chars), or form fields. List Items generate bullet-point-ready sentences.

Can I customize the vocabulary?

Yes. Select any style and enable the Custom Word Pool option. Enter 10 or more comma-separated words or phrases relevant to your project — brand names, product terms, industry jargon. The generator builds natural-sounding sentences from your word pool. Your custom list is saved automatically in your browser's local storage.

What output formats are supported?

Plain text works everywhere. HTML wraps paragraphs in tags and list items in tags — paste directly into CMS or templates. Markdown uses double-newline separation for paragraphs and dash prefixes for lists — ideal for docs and README files. JSON outputs an array of strings — ready to use in API mock fixtures or data seeding scripts.

How do I copy or download the generated text?

Click the Copy button to copy all text to your clipboard — a checkmark confirms success. Click Download to save as a .txt (Plain), .html (HTML), .md (Markdown), or .json (JSON) file. The filename includes the style and mode so you can keep multiple outputs organized.

Is my text sent to a server? Can I use it offline?

No. All text generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device — there are no server calls. After the initial page load, the tool works offline (it's a static Next.js export). Your custom word pool is saved in browser local storage only.

Can I generate text in Chinese?

This tool generates Latin-character placeholder text. For Chinese dummy text (eg. 占位文本), you can use the Custom Word Pool feature to input Chinese phrases — the generator will build sentences using your characters. For a dedicated Chinese placeholder generator, check our CJK text tools.

What are the smart presets?

Smart presets are one-click configurations for common use cases. Landing Page generates 5 paragraphs of Classic text for hero sections and features. Blog Post gives 3 paragraphs with a Lorem ipsum opening. UI Mockup provides 3 sentences for compact card layouts. Hero Section outputs 25 words for large headline text. Card UI offers 2 short sentences. API Payload creates text that approximates 1,000 bytes for payload testing.

Completely free, no signup required, no rate limits, no ads. Generate as much placeholder text as you need — there are no premium tiers or hidden restrictions. The tool is supported through non-intrusive display ads.
