Frequently asked questions

Where does lorem ipsum come from?

The text is derived from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" written in 45 BC. A typesetter scrambled the Latin in the 1500s to create a pangram-like filler, and Aldus PageMaker popularized the modern form in 1985.

Can I use the generated text in a real project?

Yes, lorem ipsum is a placeholder — use it freely for mockups, wireframes, and design comps. Replace it with real content before going to production.

Why do my word counts not exactly match the slider?

The generator aims close to your target but varies by a word or two so each paragraph has natural sentence boundaries. Set a higher value if you need a strict minimum.

Does the "Start with Lorem ipsum" toggle change anything else?

Only the opening sentence. When enabled the first paragraph begins with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit" — the classic opener most designers recognize.
