Ready to generate placeholder text.
Why designers use lorem ipsum
Focus on layout first
Placeholder text helps you test typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy without getting distracted by content.
- Great for wireframes, mockups, and early prototypes.
- Keeps attention on layout and flow.
Choose the right length
Match the amount of text to the space you are designing.
- Use paragraphs for page layouts and sections.
- Use sentences or words for labels and microcopy.
When not to use it
Final reviews often need real content to check tone, accuracy, and messaging.
- Replace lorem ipsum before launch.
- Use real copy for client approvals when possible.
Alternatives to lorem ipsum
In some contexts, meaningful placeholder text is more helpful.
- Use product or brand sample copy.
- Use content in the same language as the final site.
Accessibility reminder
Placeholder text can confuse screen readers if it looks like real content.
- Label placeholders clearly in prototypes.
- Remove placeholder text before publishing.
