Generate the exact placeholder unit you need
Paragraphs create four to seven sentences per block, separated by one blank line. Sentences return the requested number in a continuous block. Words / terms produce an exact token count. Lines return exactly one generated sentence on each line, replacing the site's former separate Lorem Lines tool.
Counts are capped to keep the browser responsive: 50 paragraphs, 500 sentences, 5,000 words or terms, and 500 lines. The displayed statistics distinguish Unicode characters, UTF-8 bytes, Latin words or Chinese Han characters, and the generated structure. This is useful when a database, CMS field, screenshot fixture or layout has a concrete size boundary.
Plain text vs HTML source
Plain text is ready for a design tool, document, textarea or fixture file. HTML mode returns source code rather than rendering it: paragraphs use <p>, lines use <div>, and a word sequence uses <span>. The output panel always displays text, so generated markup cannot execute on this page. Review the source before inserting it into a template with its own escaping rules.
Why use a seed?
A seed makes pseudo-random output repeatable. The same language, unit, count, format, classic-opening choice and seed produce the same result. This helps visual regression screenshots, demos, documentation and bug reports remain stable. Choose New random seed when you want a different fixture; the random seed is created by the browser's cryptographic random-value API, then used only as an input to the local deterministic generator.
About the Latin and Chinese modes
The Latin-style mode uses the familiar Lorem Ipsum vocabulary associated with typesetting filler and can optionally begin with the conventional five-word opening. It does not reproduce a complete Latin work and should not be presented as meaningful prose or a translation.
The Chinese mode is explicitly interface layout filler. It combines neutral modern UI terms with Chinese punctuation to exercise glyph density and line breaking. It is not “Chinese Lorem Ipsum,” natural editorial copy, localization, grammar testing or a substitute for review by a Chinese writer. Because Chinese text usually has no spaces between words, the statistics report Han characters rather than pretending to calculate English-style words.
Use placeholder text without hiding product problems
- Use filler early to check spacing, overflow, empty-state contrast and responsive behavior.
- Test very short and very long real examples as separate boundary cases; average filler alone misses them.
- Replace placeholder content before usability, accessibility, translation or production review.
- Do not use Lorem Ipsum to conceal missing legal, safety, pricing or consent copy.
- For screenshots and automated tests, record the generator settings and seed with the fixture.
Privacy and limitations
No text is uploaded. Generation, counting, copying and file creation occur in the current browser. The seed is not a secret and the algorithm is not suitable for passwords, tokens or other security material. Optional analytics can record the tool action and result count after consent, but never the generated text or seed.
