Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum?

It is a scrambled Latin passage from Cicero's "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum", used since the 1500s as placeholder text.

Why not just use "Text Text Text"?

Repeating the same word creates unnatural visual patterns. Lorem Ipsum mimics the letter frequency and word length of English, looking like real text.

Yes, the text is public domain. You can use it in any commercial or personal project without attribution.

Does this generator work offline?

Yes. Once loaded, our generator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. No server request is needed to generate text.
