What does Lorem Ipsum mean?+
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin from Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (45 BC). It's been used as placeholder text since the 1500s because it looks like natural text without being readable enough to distract.
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of 'insert text here'?+
Lorem Ipsum distributes letters more naturally, mimicking the look of real text. 'Insert text here' repeated creates visual patterns that can distract from evaluating the design.
Can I generate Lorem Ipsum in other languages?+

How many words is a typical paragraph of Lorem Ipsum?+
Typically 50–100 words. The tool lets you specify exactly how many paragraphs, sentences, or words you need.
