What is a Lorem Ipsum generator?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text that has been used since the 16th century in the printing and typesetting industry. Contrary to popular belief, it is not simply a random collection of Latin words: its origins trace back to a work by Cicero titled De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum ("On the Extremes of Good and Evil"), written in 45 BC.
A Lorem Ipsum generator allows you to quickly produce placeholder text for your mockups, prototypes and design projects. The advantage of dummy text is that it mimics the natural distribution of letters and spaces found in real text, without distracting the reader with meaningful content. Designers, web developers and graphic artists use it daily to provide a realistic preview of the layout before the final content is integrated.
Our tool offers several generation modes tailored to your needs: full paragraphs to simulate articles, isolated sentences for interface elements, individual words for labels or titles, and bulleted lists for menus or enumerations. You can also choose between classic Lorem Ipsum in Latin, a surrealist French variant, or a more modern "hipster" style.
The amount of text is fully customizable using the quantity slider. The "Start with Lorem ipsum..." option guarantees the traditional opening of the text, while the HTML option lets you get markup ready to integrate directly into your web pages.
Frequently asked questions
Lorem Ipsum originates from a text by Cicero dating back to 45 BC, <em>De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum</em>. An anonymous typesetter in the 16th century extracted passages from it to create a type specimen. Since then, this text has survived the centuries and established itself as the standard placeholder text in the world of printing and digital design.
Dummy text allows you to focus on layout and design without being distracted by content. It mimics the natural distribution of letters and spaces, providing a realistic preview of the final rendering. This is particularly useful during the mockup phase, when the definitive content has not yet been written.
The <strong>classic</strong> variant uses traditional Lorem Ipsum in Latin, faithful to the original text by Cicero. The <strong>French</strong> variant generates surrealist text in French, useful for testing rendering with accented characters. The <strong>hipster</strong> variant produces more modern and quirky English text, popular among contemporary designers.
It depends on the layout. For a blog article, 3 to 5 paragraphs are generally sufficient. For a homepage, 1 to 2 paragraphs per section are appropriate. The key is to reproduce the expected volume of text in the final design so that the proportions are realistic. Our generator allows you to precisely adjust the desired quantity.
Our generator randomly shuffles the passages with each generation to produce unique text. This prevents you from always getting the same result and better simulates the diversity of real content. The "Regenerate" button lets you get a new draw at any time, without changing your settings.
