Quick guide
Text for when the text does not matter yet
You are designing a page, a card or a screen and someone asks, “What text should we put here?” Nothing yet. That is what Lorem Ipsum is for. It lets you fill the space, test sizes and see how the design breathes without inventing content you will delete later anyway.
What is the point of text nobody will read?
That is exactly the point: nobody gets distracted by reading it. Lorem Ipsum lets you test how much space a title takes, how a card looks with three lines instead of one or what happens to a page when a paragraph is longer than expected.
Still, Lorem Ipsum is a temporary guest. Before publishing, take it out and add the real content. A design that looked perfect with filler text can change quite a bit when real headings, links and paragraphs arrive.
Plain text, HTML or JSON: which one do you need?
If you only want to copy and paste, use plain text and do not overthink it. HTML is useful when you are building a web page. JSON can help with prototypes, tests or sample data inside an application.
One small technical detail: the HTML we generate is a fragment, not a complete page, so it does not include `html` or `body` tags. In JSON, the Lorem Ipsum sits inside a `text` property.
The text is generated in your browser
The amount and format are processed directly in your browser. We do not need to send anything to a server to give you a few—or 10,000—words of Lorem Ipsum.
Frequently asked questions
Is Lorem Ipsum an English text?
No. Although this tool is in English, traditional Lorem Ipsum uses words derived from Latin. That is fine: the point is to have filler text, not to write the final article.
Can I generate more words than the sample text contains?
Yes. If you need more than our source text contains, we loop back to the beginning and continue until we reach exactly the amount you requested.
Does the counter include format tags?
No. We count the words and characters in the Lorem Ipsum, not its wrapper. HTML tags and the JSON structure are not added to the counter.
Should I publish Lorem Ipsum on my site?
Probably not :D. Lorem Ipsum did its job while you were designing; let it rest. Before publishing, replace it with real content so visitors find something more useful than “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.”
