Lorem Ipsum Generator

The words are the 62 distinct words of the traditional lorem ipsum passage — a scrambled fragment of Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum that printers have set as dummy text since the sixteenth century. They are Latin-looking but not readable Latin, which is the point: the eye sees text shape without being drawn to meaning. With the classic start on, the first sentence is the familiar "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit", so designers recognise the block as placeholder at a glance.

Sentences are 6–14 words and paragraphs 3–6 sentences by default (both ranges are yours to change); a comma is placed inside longer sentences and an immediate repeat of a word is avoided. In word mode the count is exact — the last sentence is shortened to fit, never padded — so a headline slot that holds 12 words gets 12. Lengths and word choices come from a small deterministic random generator (mulberry32) started from the seed you enter: the same seed and settings give the same text on any machine, which keeps screenshots, snapshot tests and hand-offs consistent. Change the seed for a different passage of the same shape.

The page reports words, sentences, characters (code points) and UTF-8 bytes of the plain text so it can be matched to a character limit. HTML output wraps each paragraph in a <p> element and nothing else; plain text separates paragraphs with a blank line, which is also valid Markdown.

It does not generate readable prose, names, addresses or numbers, and it does not invent vocabulary beyond the traditional list. Placeholder text hides real content problems — line length, hyphenation, how a headline breaks — so replace it with real copy as early as you can. Nothing you enter leaves the browser; the same four anonymous usage counts as the rest of the site apply.
