Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Lorem ipsum" mean?
Lorem ipsum is derived from a scrambled passage of Cicero's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC. The original text reads "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet." The Lorem Ipsum version has been used as placeholder text in typesetting since the 1500s and became standard in desktop publishing and web design.
What is Lorem ipsum used for?
Lorem ipsum is used as placeholder text in graphic design, web design, UI/UX mockups, wireframes, typesetting, and print layouts. It fills space with realistic-looking text so designers and clients can focus on layout, typography, and visual composition without being distracted by the actual meaning of the words.
How do I generate Lorem ipsum for a specific word count?
Select "Words" from the "Generate by" options, then enter your target word count in the number field or click one of the preset buttons (50, 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000). The generator will produce exactly that many words of placeholder text.
How do I get Lorem ipsum HTML with paragraph tags?
Select "HTML" from the Output Format options. The generated text wraps every paragraph in <p> tags. Enable "Include headings" to also generate <h2> and <h3> tags every few paragraphs. Enable "Include lists" to add <ul><li> elements.
What are the alternative Lorem ipsum themes?
This generator includes 8 text themes: Classic Lorem (traditional Latin), Hipster Ipsum (artisan, craft, kombucha), Corporate Ipsum (synergy, leverage, KPIs), Pirate Ipsum (nautical terms), Cat Ipsum (meow, purr, zoomies), Tech Ipsum (APIs, webhooks, algorithms), Food Ipsum (culinary terminology), and Nature Ipsum (forests, rivers, geology).
How do I generate Lorem ipsum for React / JSX?
Select "JSX / React" from the Output Format options. The output is a React fragment with keyed <p> elements that you can paste directly into any React component or Next.js page.
Is the generated text always the same?
Each click of "Generate New" produces different text using a new random seed, while keeping your settings (theme, unit, amount, format) intact. The text is generated deterministically from the seed — so the same seed always produces the same output. This is useful for reproducible designs and tests.
How do I use Lorem ipsum in Figma?
Generate plain text paragraphs, copy them, then in Figma select a text layer and paste. Figma also has a built-in Lorem Ipsum shortcut (type "/" in a text box). For multi-paragraph layouts, generate the right number of paragraphs here and paste into separate text frames.
What is the original Lorem ipsum text?
The standard Lorem ipsum passage is: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
