Every designer and developer needs Lorem Ipsum. When you are building a layout, designing a UI or creating a template, you need text to fill the space — but the real content is not ready yet. Lorem Ipsum is the standard placeholder text that has been used for this purpose since the 1500s.
What Is Lorem Ipsum?
"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit..." — you have seen this text everywhere. It comes from "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Ends of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. The Lorem Ipsum commonly used today is a scrambled version of the original Latin, designed to look like natural text without being readable — so viewers focus on the design, not the words.

When to Use Lorem Ipsum
Website wireframes and mockups: fill text areas with Lorem Ipsum before real content is written. Email template design: test how your layout handles different amounts of text. Print design: magazine layouts, brochure templates, book chapters. UI development: React, Vue or Angular components need sample text data during development. CMS testing: check how your content management system handles different text lengths.
Lorem Ipsum vs Random Words — Which to Use?
Lorem Ipsum (classic Latin): Best for most design purposes. Looks like text, is not readable in any modern language, does not distract reviewers. Random English words: Better when you need to show clients that content will be in English, or when testing language-specific features like spell check. HTML Lorem Ipsum: Useful when building or testing HTML templates — includes paragraph tags, headers and formatting.
