What is Lorem Ipsum?
**Lorem Ipsum** is the standard placeholder text (also known as "dummy text" or "filler text") used in the graphic design, print, and web industries. It's used to fill a space where real content will eventually go.
The text itself is a scrambled version of a Latin passage from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (On the Extremes of Good and Evil), a work of philosophy by Cicero from 45 BC. It is intentionally nonsensical so that viewers focus on the **design and layout** rather than being distracted by readable content.
Why Use It?
- It has a normal-looking distribution of letters, as opposed to just copy-pasting "text here text here".
- It allows designers to test typography (fonts, font sizes, line height) without the bias of meaningful content.
- It helps clients visualize how their final website or document will look.
Common Use Cases
You can generate text in three different formats depending on your needs.
| Format | Best For |

| Paragraphs | The most common use. Perfect for filling out the main body of a webpage, document, or newsletter. |
| Sentences | Useful for short descriptions, captions, or testing how text flows around an image. |
| Words | Ideal for creating headlines, titles, or navigation menu items to check spacing. |
