Frequently Asked Questions — Lorem Ipsum Generator
What does Lorem Ipsum actually mean?+
"Lorem ipsum" originates from Cicero's philosophical treatise "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil), written in 45 BC. The scrambled version has been used in typesetting since the 1500s. It was popularized in the 1960s with Letraset sheets and later by desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker.
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?+
Lorem Ipsum prevents readers from being distracted by the actual content while reviewing a layout or design. It looks like readable Latin, which means your eye naturally processes it as text — unlike meaningless repetition like "text text text" which is jarring.
How many words is each Lorem Ipsum paragraph?+
Each generated paragraph is approximately 75 words. So 1 paragraph ≈ 0.3 min reading time, 5 paragraphs ≈ 1.6 min, 10 paragraphs ≈ 3.1 min (at 238 words/min).
