Secure random numbers aren’t available
This browser can’t provide the secure random numbers the generator uses, so no text was made. Try an up-to-date browser.
You can edit it here. The counts update as you type.
Words, sentences, paragraphs or Lorem Ipsum?
Pick the shape of the space you’re filling. Random words suit tags, labels and short buttons. Sentences test card descriptions and wrapping. Paragraphs fill article bodies and long blocks. Lorem Ipsum is the classic placeholder text people recognise at a glance as dummy text, so nobody mistakes it for real copy.
Use “Output as one line” for single-line fields, then check the length with the Word Counter. To flatten text you already have, use Remove Line Breaks, and to change the case, the Text Case Converter.
How the random text is made
Every word is picked at random from a fixed list of 46 words, using your browser’s secure random numbers. Nothing is sent anywhere.
- Words
- The number of words you ask for, separated by spaces, all lower case and without punctuation.
- Sentences
- Each sentence has 6 to 15 words. With punctuation on, 7 in 10 end with a full stop and the rest with “!” or “?” equally often. With capitals on, the first letter is a capital.
- Paragraphs
- Each paragraph has 3 to 6 sentences, with a blank line between paragraphs.
- Lorem Ipsum
- The sentence “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…” repeated, one per paragraph. Capitals and punctuation don’t apply.
- One line
- All line breaks and extra spaces become single spaces.
- Counts
- Words are counted between spaces; characters include spaces and line breaks.
Questions
What do the four modes do?
Words gives you a run of single words, good for tags and labels. Sentences gives sentences of 6 to 15 words. Paragraphs gives blocks of 3 to 6 sentences, separated by a blank line. Lorem Ipsum repeats the classic placeholder sentence.
Is Lorem Ipsum real Latin?
It’s based on real Latin: a scrambled passage from Cicero’s “De finibus bonorum et malorum”, written in 45 BC, so it reads like Latin but means nothing. Lorem mode here repeats the classic opening sentence; it doesn’t write new Latin.
How much text can I generate?
From 1 to 50 words, sentences, paragraphs or Lorem lines at a time. If you type a bigger number we use 50 and say so; a number below 1 becomes 1.
Where do the random words come from?
From a small fixed list of 46 words: the NATO alphabet (alpha to zulu), “quick brown fox jumps lazy dog” and a few design words. Words repeat, which is fine for testing a layout but it isn’t realistic copy.
Can I copy or download the text?
Yes. Copy puts it on your clipboard and Download saves a .txt file. You can also edit the text in the box first; the word and character counts update as you type.
