Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, publishing, and web development to fill space before final copy is available. It has roots in classical Latin literature — a scrambled passage from Cicero's "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" written in 45 BC — and has been the standard dummy text in the industry since the 1500s.
Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum helps reviewers focus on visual design, layout, and typography rather than being distracted by readable content. Because it looks like natural Latin text with varied word lengths, it produces more realistic layouts than repeating a single word or phrase.
What is the difference between paragraphs, sentences, and words mode?
In Paragraphs mode, the generator produces full paragraphs separated by blank lines — ideal for body copy. Sentences mode generates individual sentences joined in a block — useful for testing short descriptions. Words mode outputs a specific number of individual words — helpful for testing character limits or truncation.
What does "Start with Lorem ipsum…" toggle do?
When enabled, the output always begins with the classic opening sentence: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…". This is the traditional starting text that designers and developers recognise as placeholder content. Disable it to get fully randomised text each time.
Is the generated text the same every time?
No. Beyond the classic opening sentence (when enabled), all text is randomly assembled each time you click Generate or Regenerate. Each paragraph, sentence, and word is selected at random from the Lorem Ipsum word bank, so every generation produces unique output.
