Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text used in design and publishing since the 1500s. Based on scrambled Latin from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (45 BCE). Used because it resembles English in word length and distribution without being distracting readable content.

Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?

Lorem Ipsum lets designers focus on layout, typography, and visual design without being distracted by content meaning. It has similar letter distribution to English. It's immediately recognizable as placeholder. Client feedback focuses on design, not copywriting.

What does Lorem Ipsum actually mean?

Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin, mostly nonsense. The first words "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" derive from "dolorem ipsum" meaning "pain itself." The source text by Cicero discusses ethics and pain/pleasure—ironically, the scrambled version is meaningless.

What text styles are available?

This generator offers three styles: Classic Latin (traditional Lorem Ipsum derived from Cicero), Hipster Ipsum (trendy words about artisan crafts, wellness, and sustainable living), and Tech Ipsum (developer-focused terms from APIs, DevOps, and modern tech stacks). Each style generates realistic-looking placeholder text themed to its domain.

How much Lorem Ipsum should I use?

Use enough to represent realistic content. Web pages: 150-500 words per section. Articles: 500-2000 words. Blog posts: 300-800 words. Match expected actual content length. Too little or too much skews the design preview.

What does the HTML markup option do?

When enabled, the HTML markup option wraps each paragraph in tags. This is useful when you need placeholder text for HTML templates, CMS content fields, or email templates where semantic HTML structure is required. Sentences and words mode wraps all output in a single tag.
