About Lorem Ipsum Generator

The Lorem Ipsum Generator is a free online tool that creates placeholder text for use in graphic design, web development, typesetting and layout mockups. Lorem Ipsum is the industry-standard dummy text derived from a 45 BC philosophical work by Cicero — its random-looking Latin text fills space in design mockups without the distraction of meaningful content.

When presenting a design concept to a client or building a prototype, using real content too early focuses attention on the words rather than the layout. Lorem Ipsum keeps the focus on visual design, typography and structure where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum and where does it come from?

Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin text derived from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero, written in 45 BC. It has been used as standard placeholder text in typesetting since the 1500s. The scrambled form ensures readers focus on layout rather than content.

Why do designers use placeholder text?

Placeholder text lets designers build and review layouts without needing real content. It fills space realistically, shows how text will flow around images, and helps clients focus on design decisions rather than reading the copy.

What is the HTML output option for?

HTML output wraps each paragraph in <p></p> tags so you can paste it directly into an HTML file or CMS without manually adding markup. Useful for web developers who need filler content for templates.

Is the generated text random each time?

Yes — each click of Generate produces a unique combination of sentences drawn from a large pool of Lorem Ipsum vocabulary. The first paragraph can optionally start with the classic opening line for authenticity.
