What is lorem ipsum?
Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin used as filler text since the 1500s. It’s adapted from Cicero’s De finibus bonorum et malorum (45 BC). Because it looks like real text but can’t be read, people judge the layout rather than the words.
Options
| Choose | Gives you |
|---|---|
| Paragraphs | 4 to 7 sentences each, for body text |
| Sentences | Short blocks for cards and captions |
| Words | An exact word count, for headings and buttons |
| List items | Bullets, as text or an HTML <ul> |
Tips
- Test with realistic lengths: real headlines are often longer than designers expect.
- Search your site for “lorem” before launch so none goes live.
- For final reviews, swap in real content: it shows problems filler hides.
