Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from sections of 'De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' by Cicero (45 BC). It's been used in typesetting since the 1500s and is the industry standard for demonstrating visual layouts without meaningful content distracting from design.
Why use placeholder text?
Placeholder text lets designers and developers focus on layout, typography, and visual hierarchy without getting distracted by readable content. It simulates realistic text flow while making it clear the content is not final.
What output formats are available?
You can generate paragraphs, sentences, words, or list items. Optionally include HTML tags (<p>, <ul>/<li>) for direct paste into code. Toggle 'Start with Lorem ipsum...' for the classic opening.
Is the generated text random?
Yes. Each generation produces different text from a corpus of 150+ Latin-like words. The word pool includes the original Lorem Ipsum vocabulary plus extended classical Latin terms for natural variety.
Can I use this for commercial projects?
Absolutely. Lorem Ipsum is public domain text — no copyright restrictions. Use it freely in designs, mockups, presentations, or development.
