Generate placeholder paragraphs, sentences or words for a layout, with sentence lengths that vary the way real prose does. The same seed gives the same text, so a mockup can be reproduced exactly.

Frequently asked questions
What is Lorem Ipsum and why use it?
It is scrambled Latin used as placeholder text since the sixteenth century. Its value is that it is meaningless: reviewers judge the layout rather than reading the copy, and nobody mistakes it for finished content the way they do with real sentences.
What does the seed do?
It makes the output reproducible. The same seed always produces the same placeholder text, so a mockup you send to someone else and regenerate next week is identical rather than reflowing to a different length. Leave it empty for fresh text each time.
Why do the sentences vary in length?
Because uniform blocks do not test a layout. Real copy has short sentences and long ones, and a design that only looks right against evenly sized filler will break the moment real text arrives. The generator deliberately varies sentence length.
Should I ship a site with Lorem Ipsum on it?
No. Placeholder text that reaches production gets indexed, looks unfinished to visitors, and tells a search engine the page has no meaningful content. It is a design aid, and the last step of any design is replacing it.
Can I generate a specific number of words?
Yes. Switch the unit to words and you get exactly that count, which is the practical way to test a field with a character or word limit — a meta description, a card excerpt, a headline slot.
Is there a maximum?
The count is clamped rather than allowed to run away, so a mistyped request for a million words returns a sensible amount instead of freezing the tab. That limit is generous enough for any real layout.
Does it always start with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"?
The classic opening is used for the first paragraph, because it is what people recognise as placeholder text at a glance. The rest is generated, so the passage does not simply repeat the same well-known lines.
