Placeholder text for designs, mockups and layouts — by the paragraph, sentence, or word.
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin used since the 1500s as neutral filler: it shows how a design handles text without real words distracting anyone. The generator assembles sentences from the classic passage’s vocabulary, so the output reads like proper lorem ipsum rather than repeated lines.
Why not just use real text as filler? Real words get read. Reviewers comment on the copy instead of the layout — lorem ipsum keeps the focus on design, which is the whole point.
Where does lorem ipsum come from? A scrambled passage from Cicero’s "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BC), used by printers since the 1500s.
