Generate placeholder text for mockups and layouts — by paragraphs, sentences, or words.
Lorem Ipsum is scrambled, meaningless Latin-derived text that's been the standard placeholder for print and web design since the 1960s (its origins actually trace back to a Latin text from 45 BC). Designers use it to fill mockups and layouts with realistic-looking body text without the distraction of readable content — the point is to let you judge spacing, typography, and layout on their own merits, since real text tends to pull a reviewer's attention to the words instead of the design.
It's derived from a real Latin text (a passage from Cicero, written in 45 BC) but scrambled and altered over centuries of use, so it isn't grammatically correct or directly translatable.
Real text tends to distract reviewers into reading and judging the words themselves — meaningless placeholder text keeps the focus on layout, spacing, and typography.
Paragraph length varies slightly by design, to look more natural — use "words" mode instead if you need an exact word count.
