About this tool
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin that has been used as filler text since the 1500s. It lets you judge a layout without being distracted by real words. Remember to replace it with real content before your website goes live — search engines and visitors both notice placeholder text.
Frequently asked questions
What does lorem ipsum mean?
It comes from a passage by Cicero written in 45 BC, but the words are jumbled so they don’t form readable sentences.
Why not just use real text?
Real text draws attention to its meaning. Placeholder text keeps the focus on fonts, spacing and layout.
Does every paragraph start with “Lorem ipsum”?
Only the first one, if you leave that option ticked. The rest is randomised.
