How to generate lorem ipsum placeholder text
Placeholder text is there to show you how a layout behaves at a realistic length, so the length matters more than the words.
- 01
Pick paragraphs, sentences or words
Paragraphs suit article bodies and blog templates. Sentences suit card descriptions and short blurbs. Words suit buttons, headlines and table cells, where you need an exact length.
- 02
Drag the slider to the length you need
The text updates as you drag, so there's no Generate button to press. The slider goes up to 10 paragraphs, 50 sentences or 500 words. Hit Regenerate if you want a different random mix at the same length.
- 03
Copy it into your layout
Copy puts plain text on your clipboard. Paragraphs are separated by a blank line, which Figma, Google Docs and most CMS editors turn into separate paragraphs when you paste.
How much text each setting gives you
Sentences and paragraphs come out at random lengths. Each sentence has 8 to 19 words and each paragraph has 4 to 7 sentences, so a paragraph averages about 74 words (13.5 words × 5.5 sentences). Word mode is the only one that gives an exact count, which is why it's the right choice when a design has a hard limit.
| Setting | Words you get | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 paragraph | 32 to 133 (about 74 on average) | One blog paragraph or a product description |
| 3 paragraphs (default) | About 220 | A short article teaser or an About section |
| 10 paragraphs (max) | About 740 | A full blog post template |
| 5 sentences | 40 to 95 (about 68) | A card or testimonial block |
| 50 words | Exactly 50 | A meta description or a hero subheading |
| 500 words (max) | Exactly 500, about 3,300 characters | Stress-testing a text column |
One thing to watch: these Latin words average 5.6 letters, while Peter Norvig's count of Google Books text puts English at about 4.8. So 50 words of lorem ipsum takes up a bit more room than 50 words of English copy. If the real text will be in English and the slot is tight, test with the real thing before you sign off on the design.
Mistakes that make placeholder text backfire
The most common one is shipping it. Lorem ipsum left in a live page looks broken to visitors, and search engines index it like any other text. Before launch, search your templates and CMS for "lorem" and "ipsum". It takes ten seconds.
The second is testing only the average case. A card that looks neat with 60 words may break with 15 or 150. Generate the shortest and longest copy you expect, and check both. The third is using it where the words themselves matter, such as button labels, form errors and navigation. Those need real wording early, because their length and tone shape the design.
