Lorem Ipsum Generators

Last updated: February 2026

There are dozens of Lorem Ipsum and placeholder text generators available online. Some stick to the classic Latin text, while others take a themed or technical approach. This page lists the most notable generators across all categories so you can find the right tool for your project.

Whether you need clean, no-nonsense Lorem Ipsum for a client presentation or meat-themed filler text to entertain your dev team, there is a generator for it. Below is a comprehensive rundown of over 25 options.

Classic Lorem Ipsum Generators

These generators produce standard Lorem Ipsum text — the traditional scrambled Latin that designers and developers have relied on for decades. They differ in features, interface quality, and whether they show advertisements.

• Lorem Latin (this site) — No-ads, no-bloat generator. Supports paragraphs, sentences, words, and lists. One-click copy to clipboard. Built for speed and simplicity with zero distractions.
• Lipsum.com — The original Lorem Ipsum reference site and one of the oldest generators on the web. Available in 50+ languages. Provides background information on Lorem Ipsum alongside the generator. Shows advertisements.
• LoremIpsum.io — A generator with multiple output modes including characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs. Offers a clean interface but displays advertisements throughout the page.
• Blind Text Generator — Supports multiple dummy text types beyond just Lorem Ipsum, including excerpts from Kafka, Poe, and other classic authors. Available in 7 languages. Useful for typographic testing with real language patterns.
• GetLorem — An open-source generator hosted on GitHub. Supports paragraphs, words, bytes, and lists as output formats. Free and community-maintained.
• Lorem Ipzum — A multi-language generator with themed variants. Available in 40+ languages, making it useful for international projects that need placeholder text in specific character sets.

Themed and Fun Generators

Themed generators replace the traditional Latin with English text built around a specific topic. They produce readable, humorous content that can lighten the mood during internal mockups — though they are generally not suitable for client-facing work because the content draws attention to itself rather than letting the design speak.

• Hipster Ipsum — Generates artisanal filler text packed with references to craft beer, vinyl records, cold-pressed juice, and sustainable fashion. One of the most popular themed generators. Best for internal team mockups where a bit of personality is welcome.
• Bacon Ipsum — Produces meat-themed placeholder text featuring bacon, ribeye, sirloin, pancetta, and other cuts. One of the earliest themed alternatives to Lorem Ipsum. Available as an API for developers who want to integrate it into tools.
• Cupcake Ipsum — Dessert-themed generator filled with cupcake, macaroon, gingerbread, chocolate, and pastry references. Can be contextually appropriate for food industry mockups and bakery websites.
• Zombie Ipsum — Horror and zombie-themed placeholder text with undead references and apocalyptic language. Suited for game design mockups, Halloween projects, or entertainment industry wireframes.
• Cat Ipsum — Generates text based on cat behavior and feline quirks: knocking things off tables, ignoring humans, sleeping in sunbeams. Popular among cat-loving design teams.
• Pirate Ipsum — Pirate-speak filler text featuring ye olde nautical language, treasure maps, and swashbuckling vocabulary. Fun for themed events or casual internal presentations.
• Space Ipsum — Astronomy and space-themed placeholder text drawing from NASA missions, celestial bodies, and space exploration terminology. Works well for science and technology mockups.
• Cheese Ipsum — Cheese-themed placeholder text featuring varieties like brie, cheddar, gouda, and camembert. Niche but appropriate for food-related design projects.
• Samuel L. Ipsum — Generates filler text from Samuel L. Jackson movie quotes. Entertaining but contains strong language, so it is definitely not for client presentations.
• Office Ipsum — Corporate buzzword-themed text filled with synergy, leverage, bandwidth, and other business jargon. Ironically effective for mocking up corporate websites and internal tools.
• Fillerama — Pulls quotes from popular TV shows and movies including Futurama, Doctor Who, Arrested Development, and others. Each generation pulls from a different source for variety.
• Sagan Ipsum — Carl Sagan-inspired placeholder text drawing from his poetic descriptions of the cosmos, pale blue dots, and billions and billions of stars. A more thoughtful themed option.
• Delorean Ipsum — Back to the Future themed generator with quotes and references from the film trilogy. Great for nostalgic mockups and 1980s-themed projects.

Professional and Technical Generators

Not every project calls for Lorem Ipsum or themed text. Some design and development scenarios require more specialized placeholder content. Here are the professional alternatives worth knowing about.

• Blind Text Generator — Beyond its Lorem Ipsum mode, this tool generates filler text from classic literature excerpts in multiple languages. The text uses real language patterns, making it valuable for typographic testing where you need to evaluate line breaks, hyphenation, and character spacing with authentic prose.
• Real Content — Not a generator in the traditional sense. The strategy is to use actual draft content — even rough, unfinished copy — as placeholder text. Real content reveals design problems that Lorem Ipsum hides: headlines that are too long, paragraphs that break layout assumptions, or calls-to-action that do not fit their buttons. The drawback is that real content is rarely available during early design phases.
• Language-Specific Text — For designs targeting non-Latin scripts such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or Hebrew, standard Lorem Ipsum does not test character rendering, line breaking, text direction, or vertical layout behavior. Using sample text in the target language is essential for these projects to catch layout issues early.
• Structured Fake Data — For dashboards, data tables, and forms, paragraphs of text are the wrong type of placeholder. Libraries like Faker.js generate realistic fake names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and dates. This type of structured data is far more useful than Lorem Ipsum when mocking up data-heavy interfaces.

How to Choose a Generator

The right generator depends on your audience, your project stage, and the type of content your design will eventually hold.

• For professional and client-facing work — Use classic Lorem Ipsum. It is universally recognized, visually neutral, and does not distract from the design. Clients understand what it means without explanation.
• For internal mockups and team demos — Themed generators like Bacon Ipsum or Hipster Ipsum can add a bit of fun to the process. Just make sure to swap them out before showing work externally. See our alternatives comparison for pros and cons.
• For non-Latin script designs — Use language-specific placeholder text. Latin characters will not reveal issues with character rendering, right-to-left layout, or CJK line breaking. Test with real scripts early.
• For data-heavy interfaces — Use structured fake data generators instead of text paragraphs. A dashboard mockup filled with Lorem Ipsum paragraphs tells you nothing about how the real data will look. Fake names, numbers, and dates are far more useful.
• For typography and font testing — Classic Lorem Ipsum or Blind Text Generator excerpts work well because they use natural language patterns that test character frequency, kerning, and line length realistically.
