Lipsum: Random Placeholder Text Generator

Lipsum is a tool that generates placeholder text commonly used to demonstrate page layouts. The text is randomized and nonsensical, allowing designers to focus on style rather than content.

What is Lipsum?

Lipsum is a popular tool used by web designers and developers to generate placeholder or dummy text for demonstrating page layouts and designs. It creates paragraphs of lorem ipsum text, which is randomized nonsensical text that originally comes from a passage by Cicero in 45 BC.

The advantage of using lipsum or lorem ipsum text rather than regular body text is that it allows designers to focus on building the visual layout and style of a page without getting distracted by the actual content. The randomized text gives a realistic idea of how the real content will look in the final design.

Lipsum generators create text in different lengths, from a few words up to multiple paragraphs. The text is formatted with sentences, commas, and paragraphs to resemble regular writing. Some lipsum tools also generate fake images to further simulate real content. But the text itself is meaningless, with a mix of Latin words and more recently English-sounding gibberish.

Web and graphic designers have been using lorem ipsum text for decades as a standard practice in their workflows. Lipsum generators make this easy by instantly outputting any amount of placeholder text as needed to test designs and layouts before the final content is available from the client or content team. There are many free lipsum tools available online for this purpose.
