What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in the design and publishing industry. It has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer scrambled type to make a type specimen book.
The text is derived from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. It has survived five centuries and the leap into electronic typesetting.
Designers use Lorem Ipsum because it has a relatively normal distribution of letters, making it look like readable English without distracting from the design.
Common Use Cases
Web Design
Fill page layouts and wireframes with placeholder text to visualize the final design.
Graphic Design
Create mockups for brochures, flyers, and print materials before final content is ready.
Typography Testing
Test how different fonts and sizes look with realistic text distributions.
Development
Populate databases and test applications with placeholder content during development.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?
Lorem Ipsum allows designers and developers to focus on visual elements without being distracted by meaningful content. It also prevents clients from getting attached to placeholder copy.
Is Lorem Ipsum real Latin?
Yes and no. Lorem Ipsum is derived from Latin text by Cicero, but it has been altered over time with random additions and removals, so it no longer has any coherent meaning.
Can I customize the generated text?
Yes! You can choose to generate paragraphs, sentences, or words. You can also control the quantity and whether to start with the traditional "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" opening.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. The generated text is created locally on your device.
