About this tool
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin, based on Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC), and has been used as filler text since the 1500s. Because it looks like real text but cannot be read, reviewers focus on the layout instead of the words. The generator builds random sentences from the classic word list, so blocks do not repeat.
Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It is a garbled excerpt from Cicero. The original “dolorem ipsum” means “pain itself”. The filler version is deliberately meaningless.
How many words are in a paragraph?
Each generated paragraph has 4–7 sentences of 6–14 words, roughly 40–90 words, which looks like real body copy.
Can I get HTML?
Yes. Choose HTML to wrap each paragraph in <p> tags, ready to paste into a template.
