What is the Lorem Ipsum Generator?
Lorem ipsum is the classic placeholder text designers and developers use to fill layouts before the final copy is ready. This free Lorem Ipsum Generator creates natural-looking Latin dummy text instantly, right in your browser nothing is uploaded or stored.
You can generate paragraphs, sentences, words, characters, or bulleted and numbered list items, control the amount with a slider or quick presets, and switch between plain text and ready-to-paste HTML output with <p>, <ul>, and <ol> tags.
How to use the tool
- Pick a unit: paragraphs, sentences, words, characters, or list items.
- Set the amount with the slider, the number field, or a quick preset (1, 3, 5, or 10).
- For paragraphs, choose a length short, medium, or long. For lists, pick bulleted or numbered.
- Keep “Start with classic…” on if you want the traditional “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…” opening, or turn it off for fully random text.
- Enable HTML output when you need markup to paste into a page or template.
- Press Generate (or Shuffle for a fresh version), then Copy, Download, or Select all.
Output options at a glance
- Paragraphs (1–50) with short, medium, or long length control.

- Words (1–5,000) and characters (1–20,000) for length-constrained fields and tests.

.txt/.htmldownload.
Tips
- Use HTML paragraph output to drop filler straight into WordPress blocks, Elementor sections, or email templates.
- Use numbered-list HTML output to test list styling (
<ol>) without writing content first. - Testing a character-limited field? Generate by characters the text is cut at a word boundary so you never get half a word.
- Need a new variation of the same spec? Hit Shuffle instead of re-entering your settings.
Frequently asked questions
Is the generated text always the same?
No. Every generation is freshly randomized from a Latin word bank, except for the optional classic opening sentence.
What does “Start with classic” do?
It begins the output with the traditional “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…” sentence, matching the convention most designers expect.
Can I get HTML I can paste into my site?
Yes. Turn on HTML output: paragraphs come wrapped in <p> tags and lists in <ul> or <ol> with <li> items.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Generation, copying, and downloading all happen locally in your browser.
