Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?

Lorem Ipsum comes from sections of Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' written in 45 BC. The standard Lorem Ipsum passage has been used since the 1500s when an unknown printer scrambled a passage to make a type specimen book.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is dummy placeholder text used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It's used to fill space in designs and layouts before the actual content is ready.

Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of random text?

Lorem Ipsum has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths similar to real English text, making it look realistic in layouts. Random text or repeated characters look unnatural and distract from the design.

Can I generate HTML formatted text?

Yes! Enable the "Include HTML tags" option to get text wrapped in proper HTML tags like <p>, <ul>, <li> etc. You can also preview and copy the HTML code directly.

What are the presets?

Presets are quick templates for common use cases like blog posts, card text, headlines, articles, and lists. One click generates the perfect amount of text for each scenario.

Is the generated text always the same?

The first paragraph can optionally start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." text. After that, sentences are randomly shuffled each time you generate, so you get different variations.
