The vocabulary behind this generator is the standard Lorem Ipsum extract, and it is small: 69 words in total, of which 63 are distinct. Everything except the opening sentence is built by drawing from that list at random, with replacement, so the output is a reshuffling rather than the familiar passage continued.
That matters for how the text looks on a page, which is the only thing placeholder text has to get right. The measurements below show how repetitive it becomes.
Measured, three separate runs of 100 words with the opening sentence switched off:
est appearing 5 times.in appearing 9 times.So roughly half of any hundred words are repeats, and a single short word can turn up nine times in a paragraph. Real prose does repeat common words, but not in this pattern, and the effect is visible at a glance: blocks of placeholder text from this tool look lumpier and more uniform than real copy of the same length.
For a layout mock-up that nobody will read closely, this is fine and is what placeholder text is for. For judging how a design handles real reading, or for a screenshot that will be looked at carefully, generate more than you need and pick a section that does not have the same word three times in a line.
With “start with Lorem ipsum” ticked, words mode puts the 19 words of the classic opening first and then truncates the result to the count you asked for. Measured, the output is completely deterministic for any count up to 19:
3 gives exactly Lorem ipsum dolor.5 gives Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.19 gives the whole opening and nothing else.20 gives the opening plus one random word, and only from there does the generator contribute anything.Press the button ten times at a count of 10 and you get the same ten words every time, which can look like the tool is broken. It is not. Untick the option and the same counts give fresh text: adipiscing aliquip nisi eiusmod sunt rather than the opening.
The option behaves differently in the other two modes. In sentences mode it replaces the first sentence with the opening and leaves the rest random; in paragraphs mode it puts the opening at the head of the first paragraph and follows it with two generated sentences.
Measured, sentences mode produces sentences of 8 to 15 words, each capitalised and ended with a full stop. Paragraphs are 3 to 5 sentences, with sentences of 6 to 15 words.
One consequence worth knowing before you use the output to test a layout: there is no punctuation inside a generated sentence. No commas, no semicolons, no quotation marks, no parentheses. The only commas in the whole output are the two in the classic opening sentence, when that option is on. Real text has internal punctuation that affects line breaking and visual rhythm, so text from here is slightly smoother than the real thing.
The quantity is limited to between 1 and 100 and the box is corrected to the figure used. Measured, 999 becomes 100, which at paragraph setting produces 27,475 characters; 0 becomes 1; 2.7 becomes 2; and 1e3 becomes 1 rather than 1000, because the value is read as a whole number and the reading stops at the letter. The status line reports the count and the character total, which is the quickest way to check you have enough text.
To check how long the generated text would take to read, or how many words you actually ended up with, use Reading Time Calculator or Word Counter.
Math.random cannot be seeded. developer.mozilla.org1e3 in the count box gives 1 rather than 1000: the value is read as an integer and the reading stops at the first character that is not part of one. developer.mozilla.orgEvery behaviour and every value on this page was measured against this tool as it is published, in a browser, on 18 October 2026.
Because the vocabulary is 63 distinct words and each one is drawn at random every time. Measured over three runs of 100 words, only 45 to 51 different words appeared, and in one run the word in turned up nine times. Generate more than you need and choose a section if the repetition shows.
No. In words mode with “start with Lorem ipsum” ticked, the 19 words of the classic opening are placed first and the result is then cut to your count, so any count up to 19 returns exactly the opening and nothing random. Untick the option, or ask for 20 or more.
Only the opening sentence. Everything after it is the same words in a random order, so you will not find the familiar passage continuing. The output is not meaningful in any language, which is what placeholder text is supposed to be.
No. The output is plain text only, with blank lines between paragraphs. There is no option for paragraph tags, headings, lists or links, so a rendered template test needs the markup added by hand.
Because generated sentences are made of words and a full stop, with no internal punctuation at all. The only commas you will see are the two in the classic opening sentence. Real text breaks lines slightly differently because of its punctuation, so this filler is marginally smoother than the real thing.
Measured, sentences mode gives 8 to 15 words per sentence. Paragraphs hold 3 to 5 sentences of 6 to 15 words. One hundred paragraphs, the maximum, comes to about 27,500 characters.
No. There is no seed, so each press produces something new and the previous text is gone. Copy it before generating again if a mock-up needs to stay the same.
100 is the maximum and the box is corrected to what was used, so the field, the status line and the text always agree. A decimal truncates, so 2.7 gives 2, and 1e3 gives 1 rather than 1000.
