The Classic Designer's Placeholder Text

When designing a website layout, graphic, or document template, focusing on page typography is critical. However, using readable real-world sentences often distracts reviewers from the actual design elements. Lorem Ipsum provides a balanced distribution of letter frequencies, allowing designers to view layouts without the distraction of legible text.

Our free Lorem Ipsum generator lets you compile custom paragraph lengths, words, or lists instantly.

History of Lorem Ipsum

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not random letters. It originates from a passage of classical Latin literature written by Cicero in 45 BC, titled "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil). The text has been used as a standard typesetting placeholder since the 1500s when an unknown printer scrambled a galley of type to make a specimen book.
