Lorem Ipsum Generator

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text that's been used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It comes from a piece of classical Latin literature by Cicero, written in 45 BC, though the version we use today has been scrambled and modified over the centuries.

Designers and developers use it because it looks like real text without being distracting. When you're trying to show a client a layout or test how content will flow, actual readable text can pull focus away from the design itself. Lorem Ipsum fills that space without anyone stopping to read it.

There are a few good reasons to use placeholder text during the design process.

• Keeps focus on design. When people see real content, they start reading it and critiquing the words instead of evaluating the layout, spacing, and visual hierarchy.
• Shows realistic text flow. Random letters or "content goes here" repeated doesn't show how real text will wrap and fill a space. Lorem Ipsum has natural word lengths and sentence structures.
• Works for any language. Since Lorem Ipsum isn't actual readable text, it works for mockups regardless of what language the final content will be in.
• Speeds up the process. You don't have to wait for copywriters to finish before you can start designing. You can work in parallel.

This tool offers four different placeholder text styles to match your project's vibe.

• Classic Latin. The traditional Lorem Ipsum text that's been around for centuries. It's professional and universally recognized as placeholder content.
• Hipster Ipsum. Filled with trendy words like artisan, craft, sustainable, and vinyl. Good for mockups targeting younger, urban audiences or creative projects.
• Corporate Speak. Business jargon and buzzwords like synergy, leverage, and stakeholders. Perfect for B2B mockups or when you want to poke fun at corporate culture.
• Bacon Ipsum. All meat, all the time. Ribeye, bacon, pork belly, and more. It's a fun alternative that's been popular with developers for years.

Lorem Ipsum is fine for design mockups, but you should avoid publishing it on live pages. Search engines can detect placeholder text, and it won't help your rankings at all. Google wants to see real, useful content that answers searcher questions.

For SEO testing specifically, you're better off using actual draft content or at least content that includes your target keywords. That way you can see how keyword placement affects things like title tags, meta descriptions, and heading structures in a realistic way.

The main thing is to make sure all Lorem Ipsum gets replaced before anything goes live. Having placeholder text show up in search results is embarrassing and can hurt your credibility with visitors.

The amount depends on what you're designing for. Here are some rough guidelines.

• Blog post mockups. 5-10 paragraphs is usually enough to show how a full article will look with headings, images, and body text.
• Product descriptions. 2-3 paragraphs or about 100-200 words works well for most e-commerce layouts.
• Hero sections. 1-2 sentences or 15-30 words. You want to see how short, punchy copy fits the space.
• Card or grid layouts. Generate multiple short blocks of 2-3 sentences each to fill in your grid items.

The goal is to approximate what real content will look like. If your actual articles will be 1,500 words, generate enough placeholder text to fill that space and see how it scrolls.
