Good to know

  • Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin derived from Cicero's De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC).
  • It has been used as dummy text since the 1500s and became standard in desktop publishing in the 1980s.
  • Placeholder text lets reviewers judge layout and typography without being distracted by readable content.
  • Character mode produces text of exactly the requested length, which is useful for testing field limits and truncation.

Frequently asked questions

What does lorem ipsum mean?

It is not meaningful Latin. It comes from a passage by Cicero, cut and altered so that it reads like Latin without making sense.

Why use lorem ipsum instead of real text?

Neutral filler shows how a layout will look with text without drawing attention to the words themselves.

Can I generate an exact number of characters?

Yes. Choose Characters and set the amount to get placeholder text of exactly that length.

Is the text generated online?

It is generated in your browser — no server is involved.
