What is Lorem Ipsum
Lorem Ipsum is a traditional placeholder text from graphic design and typesetting, derived from a classical Latin text (by Cicero), used since the 16th century to simulate the visual appearance of real text without the distraction of readable content — the focus stays on typography and layout, not on the meaning of the words.
When to use it
In prototypes, mockups, wireframes and website or app layouts, before the final content is ready, to visualize how text will behave in the available space.
Frequently asked questions
Does the generated text have any meaning?
No — it's placeholder text with no literal meaning, meant only to occupy space visually in a way similar to real text.
Can I generate just standalone words, without forming sentences?
Yes, select the "Words" type to generate a list of random words from the Lorem Ipsum vocabulary.
