Common questions
What is lorem ipsum?
Scrambled pseudo-Latin used as placeholder text since the 1500s, derived from a passage of Cicero. Designers use it so layouts can be judged without readable content stealing attention — the eye evaluates typography instead of reading.
Why not just use real text as placeholder?
Real text gets read — clients comment on the words instead of the design, and draft copy has a way of shipping to production. Lorem ipsum is unmistakably placeholder.
How much lorem ipsum do I need?
A rough guide: a hero blurb is 15–30 words, a card description 20–40, a blog paragraph 60–100, a full article 5–10 paragraphs. Generate by the unit that matches the slot you're filling.
Does it mean anything?
Not quite — it's deliberately corrupted Latin. The source passage from Cicero is about pain and pleasure ("dolorem ipsum" — pain itself), but the placeholder version is scrambled past translation, which is the point.
