A brief history of Lorem Ipsum Generator
Where the Lorem Ipsum Generator approach was originally invented, and how it ended up in every text editor since.
Most placeholders you work with don't justify opening Word. Lorem Ipsum Generator is for the in-between cases — paste, transform, paste back. Browser-local, no signup, no character limits.
Run it in your browser: Lorem Ipsum Generator — Runs entirely on your device using open web standards.
A brief history
Counting words and characters in software is old — older than the first word processor. Early word processors built it in because writers and editors had been doing the equivalent by hand for centuries. Lorem Ipsum Generator is the modern, browser-local version of a habit that long predates the computer.

No upload, no signup, no daily limit.
Frequently asked questions
Can Lorem Ipsum Generator handle non-English text?
Yes — it uses Unicode-standard rules that work for most major scripts.

Lorem Ipsum Generator matches the published Unicode standard. Cross-check against the tool of record (Word, your CMS) if that's what's being graded against.

Does Lorem Ipsum Generator count characters with or without spaces?
Lorem Ipsum Generator shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
