What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is dummy placeholder text that has been the industry standard for typesetters, graphic designers and web developers since the 1500s, when an unknown printer scrambled a passage of Latin to create a type specimen book. The text is derived from sections of Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC.

The reason designers use Lorem Ipsum rather than readable English is deliberate: meaningful text draws the eye and distracts from the visual design. Placeholder text lets reviewers evaluate layout, typography and spacing without being pulled into reading the content.

Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum?
Readable content distracts reviewers from evaluating the visual design. Lorem Ipsum has a natural, word-length distribution that mimics real text, making layouts feel realistic without the distraction of meaningful words.
Is Lorem Ipsum real Latin?
It is derived from real Latin — specifically a passage from Cicero's "de Finibus" — but has been scrambled and altered so it no longer makes grammatical sense. It is intentionally meaningless.
How much Lorem Ipsum do I need?
For a typical website page, 2–3 paragraphs is standard for body content areas. For a document or article layout, 4–6 paragraphs better represents a realistic reading experience.
What is the difference between Classic and Randomised?
Classic Lorem Ipsum uses the traditional text drawn from Cicero, always in the same order. Randomised variation shuffles and recombines the word pool to produce unique output each time — useful when you need multiple distinct text blocks that don't repeat.
