Word Counter
Live word, character, sentence and paragraph counts with a reading-time estimate.
Generate placeholder text in paragraphs, sentences or words.
Lorem Ipsum Generator produces the scrambled Latin placeholder text designers have used since the days of metal type. Its purpose is to fill a layout with something that has the rhythm and texture of real writing without saying anything, so that people reviewing a design look at the design instead of reading the words.
You choose the unit and the amount: paragraphs, sentences, words or characters. Paragraph length varies naturally rather than being identical every time, which gives a more realistic page. An option starts the first paragraph with the traditional opening phrase, which many clients expect to see.
Output can come out as plain text or wrapped in HTML paragraph tags, ready to paste straight into a template. For user interface work, generating by word or character count is usually more useful than by paragraph, because it lets you test exactly how a headline or card behaves at its real length.
The lorem ipsum generator is used by writers, developers, students, marketers and anyone else who needs the job done once without installing software. Common cases include:
Because readable text pulls attention away from the design. Placeholder text has the visual rhythm of language without meaning, so reviewers judge spacing, hierarchy and line length rather than the words.
Not as written. It comes from a first-century Latin text that was scrambled centuries ago by a typesetter, which is why fragments look almost like Latin but do not parse as sentences.
No. Placeholder text that reaches a live site is a common and embarrassing mistake. Search for the word lorem across your project before launching.
Sentences are assembled from a word pool with varying length, so each press gives a different block. That is more realistic than repeating one fixed passage, and it lets you test a layout against several lengths.
Yes. Choose characters as the unit and the output is trimmed to that length at a word boundary, which is what you want when testing a field with a hard limit.
The generated words contain no characters that need escaping, so the HTML output is simply each paragraph wrapped in a paragraph tag, ready to paste.
