Lorem ipsum is scrambled, Latin-looking placeholder text that designers and publishers have used for centuries to fill a layout before the real words are ready. Because it reads as meaningless, it lets people judge the look of a design without being drawn into reading the content.

Why not just type random letters?

Random letters and repeated words form unnatural shapes and spacing that do not look like real text, which makes a layout hard to judge. Lorem ipsum has the rhythm, word lengths and punctuation of real writing, so blocks of it flow the way genuine copy will.

Can I generate words or list items instead of paragraphs?

Yes. You can produce a set number of paragraphs for body copy, a specific word count when you need to fit a tight space, or list items when you are filling a bulleted or numbered list. Pick the unit that matches what you are mocking up.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is read and processed on your own device, nothing is uploaded, and nothing is logged or stored. Once the page has loaded, it keeps working even if you go offline.
