❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lorem Ipsum and where does it come from?

Lorem Ipsum is scrambled Latin derived from De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum by Cicero (45 BC). It has been the printing industry's standard dummy text since the 1500s. Designers use it because it mimics natural English word/letter distribution without being readable — keeping reviewers focused on layout, not content.

How do I generate Lorem Ipsum in JavaScript or Python?

JavaScript (npm):

import { loremIpsum } from 'lorem-ipsum';
const text = loremIpsum({ count: 3, units: 'paragraphs' });

Python:

from lorem_text import lorem
print(lorem.paragraphs(3))

Vanilla JS (no deps):

const words = 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur'.split(' ');
const lorem = n => Array.from({length:n}, () =>
  words[Math.random()*words.length|0]).join(' ');
How do I use Lorem Ipsum in Figma, Sketch, or VS Code?

Figma: Install the "Lorem Ipsum" plugin → select text layer → run plugin.
Sketch: Data → Text → Lorem Ipsum.
VS Code (Emmet): Type lorem + Tab → 30 words. lorem10 → 10 words. p*3>lorem → 3 paragraphs in <p> tags.

What are alternatives to Lorem Ipsum?

Hipster Ipsum — trendy words for fun mockups. Bacon Ipsum — meat-themed filler. Cupcake Ipsum — sweet & playful. For serious projects, use the standard Lorem Ipsum (this tool) to avoid distracting clients. For multilingual testing, use language-specific generators (CJK, Arabic RTL, Cyrillic).

How many words are in the standard Lorem Ipsum passage?

The standard passage starting with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." contains 69 words. The full original text from Cicero has ~249 words across 5 paragraphs. Most generators (including this one) use the original word bank to create random but natural-looking variations.

Is this tool private? Does it collect my data?

100% private. All text generation runs in your browser — no server requests, no tracking cookies, no data collection. Your generated text never leaves your device. Source code on GitHub.
