FAQ

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from a passage in 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written by the Roman statesman and philosopher Cicero in 45 BC. The scrambled Latin has been used as placeholder text in typesetting since the 1500s. The text is used because it has a natural distribution of letters and words, making it look like readable prose from a distance, without distracting readers with actual content.

Is the generated text always the same?

This generator uses a fixed corpus of Lorem Ipsum words and a deterministic generation algorithm, so the same settings produce similar text. However, the generator cycles through the word list and varies sentence and paragraph lengths to produce more natural-looking output. Each generation is slightly varied in paragraph and sentence structure.

Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?

Real text distracts reviewers — people read the actual words and comment on the content rather than the design. Lorem Ipsum is meaningless to most readers, so they focus on the visual layout, typography, and hierarchy instead of the copy. It also allows designs to proceed before the final content is written, which is common in agile projects.

What is the difference between paragraph, sentence and word mode?

Paragraph mode generates complete paragraphs separated by blank lines, each containing 4–8 sentences. Sentence mode generates individual sentences separated by newlines — useful for filling form fields, captions, or card descriptions. Word mode generates the exact number of words requested as a single continuous block — useful for headline or tagline placeholders.

Can I start with 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet'?

Yes. The generator always starts the first paragraph with the classic opening 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...' which is the traditionally recognised Lorem Ipsum opening. Subsequent paragraphs use other portions of the Lorem Ipsum corpus.

Is there a maximum amount I can generate?

You can generate up to 10 paragraphs, 50 sentences, or 1,000 words in a single generation. The generation is instant regardless of quantity, as it is pure JavaScript running in your browser.
