Where does lorem ipsum come from?

It's scrambled Latin from Cicero's 'De finibus bonorum et malorum' (45 BC). Typesetters have used it as filler text since at least the 1500s because it looks like natural text without being readable.

Should I design with lorem ipsum?

It's fine for early layouts, but test with real content before launch: real headlines, names and translations are longer or shorter than filler and often break a design.

Lorem Ipsum Generator: what to know

The lorem ipsum generator creates placeholder text by paragraphs, sentences or words, starting with the classic 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet' or not, as you prefer. Copy it as plain text or wrapped in HTML <p> tags, ready to drop into a template, mockup or component.

Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum, written in 45 BC. Typesetters have used it as dummy text for centuries because it has a natural mix of word lengths and looks like real text at a glance, without the meaning drawing attention away from the layout.

Placeholder text is fine for early layouts, but test designs with real content before launch. Real headlines are longer, names vary wildly in length and translations into languages like German can be a third longer than English, all of which can break a design built around filler.

Tips for the best result

Test with a very long word or URL as well; lorem ipsum never contains one.
Use realistic lengths: a product card title is a few words, not a paragraph.
Replace placeholder text before launch: search engines and readers notice lorem ipsum.
