Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC). It has been the standard dummy text for typesetting since the 1500s because it has a natural letter frequency distribution that approximates real Latin, preventing the layout from being distorted by unusual character clusters.

Why does design mockup text matter?

Real-sounding but semantically meaningless text lets reviewers focus on typography, spacing, and layout rather than reading the content. Using "aaa aaa aaa" or "content here" creates unrealistic line lengths and word shapes.

What is the Chinese placeholder text option?

The Chinese mode generates plausible-looking placeholder text using common Chinese characters in random order. It is useful for mocking up CJK interfaces and verifying that fonts, line heights, and wrapping behave correctly before real copy is available.

What does "start with Lorem ipsum" mean?

The classic Lorem Ipsum paragraph begins with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...". Enabling this option forces the first paragraph to start with this recognisable phrase, as typographers traditionally expect.

What is the HTML output option for?

HTML mode wraps each paragraph in a tag, ready to paste into HTML templates, React/Vue components, or CMS editors. Plain text mode is better for spreadsheets or plain text editors.

How is this different from the Lorem tool under Text Tools?

The Text Tools Lorem generator (/text/lorem/) is oriented around word count and sentence count. This generator adds paragraph mode, Chinese placeholder text, HTML output, and configurable sentence length per paragraph — focused on design workflow.

Can I specify the exact word count per paragraph?

Yes, in Sentences mode you can control sentences per paragraph. Each sentence contains 8–20 words by default. Exact word-count-per-paragraph mode is in the roadmap.

Is the Lorem Ipsum text always the same?

Paragraph mode cycles through the classic Lorem Ipsum corpus and wraps around. Sentence and word modes pick from the corpus with slight randomisation so adjacent outputs differ.

How to use

Choose whether to generate paragraphs, sentences, or words.
Set the count — 3 paragraphs fills a typical article-length container.

Click Generate, then Copy to paste into your design tool or editor.

Common use cases

Figma / Sketch mockups — fill text frames with realistic-length placeholder copy.
HTML/CSS prototypes — use HTML mode to paste directly into your markup.
CMS content testing — verify rich-text editor formatting with several paragraphs.
Multilingual UI testing — Chinese mode checks CJK font loading and line-height.
