Question 1

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Accepted Answer

Lorem Ipsum is the standard placeholder text used in graphic design, publishing, and web development since the 1500s. It mimics the rhythm and appearance of real text without readable content, letting designers focus on layout rather than copy.

Question 2

Where did Lorem Ipsum come from?

Accepted Answer

It originates from "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero, written in 45 BC. The scrambled, altered version used today was created by an unknown printer in the 1500s and has been the industry standard ever since.

Question 3

Can I generate by words, sentences, or paragraphs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Choose your unit (words, sentences, or paragraphs), set the count, and optionally start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." opening line.

Question 4

Is the text real Latin?

Accepted Answer

It is derived from Latin but has been intentionally altered and scrambled so it is not grammatically correct. The meaninglessness is by design — it prevents the text from distracting from visual design decisions.
