Content type guide
Classic uses the traditional Lorem Ipsum corpus — the pseudo-Latin text derived from Cicero's de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum. It has been the standard design placeholder since the 1500s and is the safest choice when you need text that is clearly non-readable but still looks natural in a layout.
English generates real English words in a random order. This is useful for wireframes and mockups where stakeholders might be confused by unreadable Latin, or when you need a slightly more natural-looking text flow.
Corporate, Tech, and Hipstergenerate domain-specific placeholder text using industry jargon. Corporate ipsum is good for business presentation mockups, Tech ipsum for developer documentation wireframes, and Hipster ipsum for creative agency and lifestyle brand designs.

Frequently asked questions
What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text commonly used in graphic design, typography, and web development to fill space while the real content is being prepared. It originated from a scrambled passage of Cicero's 45 BC work de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum. The text has been used as a standard filler since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
Why do designers use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?
Using real or meaningful text in a mockup distracts reviewers into reading and editing the content rather than evaluating the design. Lorem Ipsum is intentionally unreadable so stakeholders focus on layout, typography, and visual hierarchy. It also prevents early attachment to temporary copy that might be completely replaced later.
What does "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" mean?
The original passage from Cicero reads "Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit" — loosely translated as "Nor is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain." The Lorem Ipsum text is an altered and scrambled version of this passage.
What is the HTML output format useful for?
The HTML output wraps each paragraph in <p> tags, making it ready to paste into an HTML file, React JSX, or CMS content editor without any manual formatting. For single-sentence or word generation it wraps the entire output in a single <p> tag.
Can I use Lorem Ipsum in a live product?
Technically yes, but it is strongly discouraged. Lorem Ipsum is for prototyping and mockups only. Shipping Lorem Ipsum in a live product signals to users that the product is unfinished, can hurt SEO (low-quality thin content), and may cause confusion. Always replace placeholder text before going live.
Is my generated text private?
Yes. All text generation runs entirely in your browser using pre-built word banks and JavaScript algorithms. No text is ever sent to any server. Nothing is tracked or stored anywhere except your own browser's localStorage for the generation history feature.
