What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in typesetting and web design as a placeholder for real content. The text originates from a work by Cicero written in 45 BC and has been used as standard filler text since the 1500s. It became popular in the digital era through desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.
When to use Lorem Ipsum
Use Lorem Ipsum when you want to show a design layout without distracting the viewer with meaningful content. It is ideal for wireframes, mockups, UI prototypes, email templates, and any design that needs realistic-looking text before the real copy is ready.
Why does everyone use Latin dummy text?
Latin text prevents readers from focusing on the words instead of the design. Since most readers cannot understand Latin, the text appears as a natural visual element rather than a distraction.
Is it exactly Cicero's original text?
No — the Lorem Ipsum used in publishing is a scrambled version of Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil), with some words altered or omitted to prevent it from having a clear meaning.
Can I generate HTML Lorem Ipsum?
Yes — toggle the "HTML paragraphs" option to wrap each paragraph in <p> tags, ready to paste into your HTML template.
