What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, publishing, and web development to fill visual space before final content is available. It has been used since the 1500s and is derived from "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", a work by the Roman philosopher Cicero, written in 45 BC.
The standard lorem ipsum passage that has been used since the 1500s begins: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua…" It was popularized in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets and later with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.
When to use placeholder text
Use placeholder text during the early stages of design when you want to focus on layout, typography, and visual hierarchy rather than content. It prevents readers from focusing on the text itself and allows designers and stakeholders to evaluate the visual design objectively. Once the design is approved, replace the placeholder with real content.
Frequently asked questions
Lorem Ipsum is not a meaningful Latin text — it is a scrambled excerpt from Cicero's philosophical work. The original passage was about the extremes of good and evil ("de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum"). The text was deliberately scrambled to produce something that looks like Latin but has no real meaning, so it does not distract readers from evaluating the design.
Classic mode uses the traditional lorem ipsum word pool derived from Cicero's text, producing the familiar "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…" passage. Randomized mode shuffles the words into a different order each time, producing unique text that still looks like lorem ipsum but never repeats the same sequence.
