Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum and why is it used?

Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from a 1st-century BC Latin text by Cicero. Designers and developers use it to fill layouts and mockups so stakeholders can focus on visual design rather than reading actual content. It has a natural distribution of letters and word lengths that mimics real text.

Is the generated text real Latin?

Not exactly. The classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." opening comes from a scrambled excerpt of Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum." The rest of the generated text uses common Latin-ish words but is not grammatically correct Latin — it's designed to look realistic while being meaningless.

Can I use the generated text commercially?

Yes! Lorem ipsum text is not copyrighted and can be used freely in any project — websites, apps, print materials, presentations, and more. It's specifically designed as disposable placeholder content.

What does the HTML <p> tags option do?

When enabled, each paragraph is wrapped in HTML <p>...</p> tags, making it ready to paste directly into HTML files, CMS editors, or code. This saves you the step of manually adding paragraph markup around the generated text.

Is my data processed on a server?

No. The lorem ipsum generator runs entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No data is sent to any server. The word list is built into the tool, so it works offline too.
