Where does lorem ipsum come from?
The text is a scrambled extract from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC). Typesetters have used it as filler since at least the 1500s, and desktop publishing software made it ubiquitous in the 1980s.
Why use placeholder text?
Readable copy draws attention to what it says. Lorem ipsum has a natural distribution of word lengths, so layouts look realistic while reviewers concentrate on typography and spacing. Replace it before launch — search engines and users treat leftover lorem ipsum as low-quality content.
Frequently asked questions
Is lorem ipsum real Latin?
Partly. It is derived from Cicero, but words have been altered and truncated, so it is not meaningful Latin.
Can I get HTML paragraphs?
Yes. Tick "Wrap in HTML tags" to get elements or a list.
Is the generated text random?
Yes — each generation produces new sentences from a classic word list.
