Random Paragraph Generator

Generate paragraphs of readable random English.

Quick Tool Overview

The Random Paragraph Generator produces blocks of real English in grammatical sentences with the length variation real prose has — so line breaks and visual colour match the text that will eventually go there, which Latin filler gets subtly wrong.

About the Random Paragraph Generator

Designers and developers need blocks of text that behave like real writing without meaning anything. Lorem ipsum does the job but has two problems: it is obviously not English, so clients read it as broken rather than as placeholder, and its word lengths do not match English, so line breaks fall in the wrong places.

This generates paragraphs of real English words in grammatical sentences, with the sentence length variation that real prose has. The result looks like writing at a glance, wraps the way English wraps, and can be produced at any length from a single paragraph to a full page. HTML paragraph tags can be added, which saves a step when the text is going into a template.

Key features of the Random Paragraph Generator

Realistic line breaking

English word lengths mean the text wraps the way the real copy will, unlike Latin filler.

Sentence length variation

Paragraphs mix short and long sentences, so the block has the texture of real writing.

HTML output

Each paragraph wrapped in a tag, ready to paste into a template without a second pass.

Any length

One paragraph or fifty, with the sentences per paragraph under your control.

Says when Latin is better

The page notes the one real advantage of lorem ipsum — nobody mistakes it for finished copy.

Frequently asked questions

Because English word lengths and letter frequencies match the text that will eventually go there, so line breaks, hyphenation and visual colour are realistic. Latin filler gets all three subtly wrong.
