How to use Lorem Ipsum Generator
- Choose the Words: Lorem ipsum for classic Latin-style filler or English for ordinary English words.
- Set How many and the Unit: Paragraphs, Sentences, Words or List items.
- Pick a Format (Plain, HTML or Markdown) and, for lorem ipsum, whether to Start with “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…”.
- Click Regenerate for new text, or type your own Seed to get the same text again later.
- Copy or download the Generated text, or open it in another tool with Send to….
How it works
Text is built from a fixed word list: 144 Latin-looking words for lorem ipsum, or 110 everyday English words. Words are picked at random, with most immediate repeats avoided. A sentence has 6 to 16 words, a capital letter and a full stop, and sentences of 8 or more words get a comma half of the time. A paragraph has 3 to 7 sentences, and a list item has 2 to 7 words with no full stop. In Words mode the words form one long sentence.
The randomness comes from a seeded generator (sfc32, seeded by hashing the Seed text with cyrb128), so the same seed and options always give exactly the same text in any browser. Regenerate just picks a new random seed using crypto.getRandomValues.
HTML wraps each paragraph in <p> or the list in <ul> and <li>. Markdown turns list items into - bullets; paragraphs are separated by blank lines in both Plain and Markdown. Everything is generated in your browser.
Limits
- At most 500 paragraphs, 5,000 sentences, 50,000 words or 1,000 list items; larger numbers are capped.
- The text is randomly picked words, not real Latin or grammatical English.
- The classic opening is only available for the lorem ipsum word list.
- The word count in the status bar counts runs of the letters A–Z, ignoring HTML tags.
Privacy
Text is generated entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored. The Share button copies a link with your options and seed in its # fragment, which browsers don’t send to servers; whoever opens it sees the same text. Send to… passes the text to another tool through this tab’s session storage, and it is removed as soon as that tool reads it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get the same text again?
Yes. The output depends only on the options and the Seed, so reusing the seed, or sharing the link, reproduces the text exactly. Click Regenerate for a new seed.
When should I use English instead of lorem ipsum?
Use English when Latin would distract reviewers or when you want text that looks like real copy, for example to check how a layout handles ordinary word lengths.
Does the HTML output escape special characters?
Yes, &, < and > are escaped inside each tag, although the built-in word lists contain only plain letters.
Does Words mode start with “Lorem ipsum”?
It does when the classic opening is ticked: the first words become lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit, cut short if you asked for fewer than eight words.
