What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy placeholder text derived from Cicero's 1st-century philosophical treatise De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (45 BC). The text was scrambled over centuries of typesetting use and popularised in the 1960s by Letraset's dry-transfer sheets. Today it is the industry-standard filler text in design and development.
Why use it?
Placeholder text lets designers and developers focus on layout, spacing, and visual hierarchy without the distraction of meaningful content. It helps test typography, evaluate responsive behavior across different text lengths, and present polished mockups to stakeholders — while clearly signalling that the copy is temporary.
Use cases
Wireframing — fill Figma, Sketch, or Adobe XD mockups with realistic text blocks to evaluate layout proportions. Responsive testing — generate varying paragraph lengths to stress-test how layouts handle short and long content. Email templates — populate HTML email designs with placeholder copy before final content is ready. CMS & theme development — fill WordPress, Ghost, or custom CMS templates with dummy content to preview how real posts will look.
Alternatives to Lorem Ipsum
While Lorem Ipsum is the standard, some teams prefer alternatives. Novelty generators like Hipster Ipsum or Bacon Ipsum add humor to mockups. For accessibility testing, using real-language text helps screen-reader testing produce more realistic results. For internationalization (i18n) testing, use text with special characters, diacritics, and non-Latin scripts to catch encoding or layout issues early.
