How to use

Choose a text type (Latin or one of the language-specific dummy text lists), a unit (paragraphs, sentences or words), and a count, and this tool generates the text in the result box. It updates whenever you change a setting, and the “Regenerate” button creates a fresh random text with the same settings. Use the copy button to copy the result directly.

What is Lorem Ipsum

Lorem Ipsum is a scrambled passage from a work by the Roman philosopher Cicero, rearranged so it no longer reads as real, meaningful Latin. The printing and publishing industry has used it for centuries as placeholder text to preview font size, line spacing and layout before the real copy is ready, and it’s still used the same way in web and app design mockups today. Alongside the classic Latin Lorem Ipsum, this tool can also generate text from original dummy text lists written for Korean, Japanese, German, Spanish and English.

Why language-specific dummy text matters

Placeholder text made only of Latin letters can’t show what a layout actually looks like once it holds Korean or Japanese characters. Japanese text, for example, wraps at any character with no spaces between words at all, and each Korean syllable takes up more horizontal space than a single Latin letter, so the same character count can end up with a very different width. Testing a button or card with only Latin Lorem Ipsum can hide problems that only appear once real Korean or Japanese text is truncated or wraps oddly. Filling a design with dummy text in the language it will actually use is the reliable way to catch that early.

Reusing the same result with a seed

Enter a value in the seed field and the same seed with the same settings will always generate the same text. Leave it empty and you’ll get different random text every time. This is useful when you need the same filler text every time you reopen a mockup, or when you want to share just the seed value with a teammate so they can generate an identical result.

Privacy

This tool generates text in your browser using only the values you enter (text type, count, seed). Nothing is sent to a server or saved anywhere, and the result disappears when you close the page.

Frequently asked questions

What does "Lorem Ipsum" mean, and why is it in Latin?

Lorem Ipsum is a scrambled passage from a work by the Roman philosopher Cicero, rearranged so it no longer makes sense as a real sentence. Since the 1500s, the printing industry has used it as placeholder text to show letterforms and layout without drawing attention to the actual wording, and it's still used the same way today for design mockups and screen layouts.

Why are there separate dummy text lists for languages like Korean and Japanese?

Placeholder text made only of Latin letters can't show how a layout actually behaves once it's filled with Korean or Japanese characters — how long the lines get, where they wrap, or how wide each character is. Japanese, for instance, wraps at any character with no spaces at all, and Korean syllables take up more horizontal space than a single Latin letter. Filling a layout with dummy text in the language it will actually use is the only way to catch truncation or odd line breaks before they show up in the real product.

How does the seed work?

Type anything into the seed field, and the same seed combined with the same settings (text type, unit, count, opening-sentence option) will always produce the exact same text again. This is useful when you need the same filler text every time you reopen a mockup, or when you want to share just the seed value with a teammate so they get an identical result. Leave the seed field empty to get different random text every time.

What's the difference between paragraphs, sentences and words?

Paragraphs group several sentences into separate blocks separated by a blank line. Sentences produce the requested number of sentences without splitting them into paragraphs. Words list out the requested number of words with no punctuation, which is handy for filling short spaces like button labels or titles that don't need a full sentence.
