Frequently Asked Questions

Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin text derived from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero, written in 45 BC. It has been the standard placeholder text for the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s, and remains the go-to dummy text for designers worldwide.
Placeholder text lets designers present a realistic layout without actual content. Real words distract stakeholders from evaluating visual design. Lorem Ipsum closely mimics the rhythm and letter distribution of English, making it ideal for layout previews.
Yes. Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text with no copyright restrictions. All text generated by this tool is free for any project — commercial or personal — without attribution.
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server, stored, or tracked. Your generated text stays on your device.
Switch the mode selector in the Generate panel from "Paragraphs" to "Word Count". A word count slider appears — drag it to your target. The tool produces text as close to that count as possible with natural sentence and paragraph breaks.
The stage renders your lorem ipsum text live with your chosen font family (Sans, Serif, or Mono), font size, line height, background color, and column layout. This lets you evaluate exactly how the text fills your design before copying.
Plain Text is raw paragraphs. HTML wraps each in <p> tags. JSON returns a string array. Markdown uses blank lines between paragraphs. React returns a full JSX component. SQL generates INSERT statements for a test database table.
Yes. Uncheck the "Start with Lorem ipsum…" toggle in the Generate panel. The text will begin with a randomly generated sentence from the word bank instead of the classic opening phrase.
