Frequently asked questions
What is lorem ipsum?
Placeholder text used in design and publishing to fill a layout before the real words are ready. It looks like ordinary text but can’t be read, so people look at the design rather than the content.
Where does lorem ipsum come from?
It’s scrambled Latin from Cicero’s ‘De finibus bonorum et malorum’, written in 45 BC. Printers have used it as filler since the 1500s, and it carried over into desktop publishing and web design.
What does lorem ipsum mean?
Nothing, as it’s used today. The words were cut and rearranged from Cicero’s text, so most of it isn’t proper Latin. The source passage is about the pursuit of pleasure and avoiding pain.
How many words are in a paragraph of lorem ipsum?
Here, each paragraph has 4 to 8 sentences and each sentence 6 to 16 words, so a paragraph is usually 40 to 90 words. If you need an exact length, choose Words instead.
Can I use lorem ipsum in my projects?
Yes. The text is centuries old and free for anyone to use. Just remember to replace it before you publish, as placeholder text left on a live page looks unfinished.
