What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in design, publishing, and web development to simulate real content before the actual copy is written. It has been the industry standard dummy text since the 1500s.
Using placeholder text allows designers and developers to focus on layout, typography, and visual design without being distracted by meaningful content. The text resembles natural language patterns, providing a realistic representation of how the final content will look.
This generator creates standard Lorem Ipsum text in configurable amounts — paragraphs for page layouts, sentences for UI elements, or individual words for labels and buttons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?
Lorem Ipsum originates from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' by Cicero, written in 45 BC. The standard chunk has been used since the 1500s.
Is Lorem Ipsum real Latin?
It's derived from classical Latin but is not meaningful Latin text. Words have been altered, added, and removed over the centuries, making it nonsensical.
Why not use random text or 'abc abc' instead?
Lorem Ipsum has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that simulates real language. Random characters or repeated strings look artificial and can distract from design evaluation.
How many paragraphs should I generate?
Depends on your layout. 1-2 paragraphs for UI components, 3-5 for blog post templates, 5-10 for full page layouts.
