Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?▼
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text derived from a Latin treatise by Cicero written in 45 BC. It has been used as standard placeholder text in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. The text is intentionally scrambled so readers focus on layout rather than content.
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?▼
Placeholder text lets designers and developers focus on visual layout without being distracted by meaningful content. It also prevents clients from evaluating placeholder copy as if it were final. Lorem Ipsum has a natural-looking distribution of letters and word lengths that closely mirrors real Latin text.
What output formats are supported?▼
This tool supports three formats: Plain Text (paragraphs separated by blank lines), HTML (each paragraph wrapped in <p>…</p> tags ready to paste into HTML), and Markdown (paragraphs separated by blank lines, compatible with all Markdown parsers).
Is the generated text always the same?▼
No. Each click of "Generate" produces a new random arrangement of Lorem Ipsum words (unless you use very short word counts, where repetition is unavoidable). The word pool stays within the classic Lorem Ipsum vocabulary.
Is my text sent to a server?▼
No. All generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No network requests are made and nothing is stored anywhere.
