Generate Lorem Ipsum text online for free. Create paragraphs, sentences, or words instantly for mockups, layouts, and design work used by developers.
Click "Generate" to create Lorem Ipsum text...
Lorem Ipsum generators use a corpus of Latin-like words derived from Cicero's 'De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (45 BC), scrambled to make nonsensical text. The algorithm picks words randomly from this dictionary, forming sentences of varying lengths (4-15 words typically), then groups sentences into paragraphs. It always starts with 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet' by convention. The text is meaningless but has realistic word-length distribution and letter frequency, making it ideal for visual layout testing without distracting content. Some generators add slight randomness to paragraph length; others use fixed patterns.

Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum' (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. **Original Latin**: Cicero's philosophical work about ethics **Lorem Ipsum version**: Scrambled and altered to be nonsensical **First use**: Unknown, but became printing industry standard in 1500s **Modern use**: Still the #1 placeholder for design and publishing Why it lasted: Looks like real text but doesn't distract readers with actual meaning.
**Problems with real text**: - Clients read it and critique the words, not design - May accidentally use temporary text in production - Distracts from visual review - Wrong message if using unrelated content **Why Lorem Ipsum works**: - Visually looks like English (similar letter frequency) - Clearly placeholder — no confusion - Industry standard — everyone recognizes it - Fills space without meaning Perfect for: 'Ignore the words, look at the layout!'
Lorem Ipsum approximates natural language patterns: **Average word length**: 5-6 letters (like English) **Word frequency**: Varied, not repetitive **Sentence structure**: Similar to real paragraphs This makes it perfect for testing: - Text wrapping and line breaks - Paragraph spacing - Font legibility at different sizes - Page flow and column balance Better than 'test test test' or keyboard mashing!
