What Is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy placeholder text used in the design and publishing industries since the 1500s. Its origins trace back to sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by the Roman philosopher Cicero, written in 45 BC.
Designers and developers use Lorem Ipsum because its Latin-like word distribution closely mimics the visual rhythm of real English text. This lets reviewers focus on layout, typography, and spacing without being distracted by readable content.
While it looks like gibberish, the standard Lorem Ipsum passage has been intentionally scrambled from Cicero's original, making it a time-tested industry standard for mockups and prototypes.
Common Uses for Lorem Ipsum
Web Design Mockups
Fill page layouts with realistic text blocks to evaluate visual hierarchy, column widths, and whitespace before final copy is written.
Print Layout Proofing
Populate brochures, magazines, and book templates to verify pagination, margins, and typographic flow before publication.
UI Prototyping
Insert placeholder text into app interfaces to test component sizing, text wrapping, and responsive behavior across screen sizes.
Presentation Templates
Add filler text to slide decks and proposal templates so stakeholders can evaluate the design independently from content.
Tips for Using Placeholder Text
Use Real Content When Possible
For final design reviews, substitute actual copy. Lorem Ipsum hides content-related layout issues like overlong headlines or short paragraphs.
Never Ship Lorem Ipsum to Production
Placeholder text in live products looks unprofessional and hurts SEO. Always search your codebase for "lorem" before deploying.
Consider Alternative Placeholder Text
Hipster Ipsum, Cupcake Ipsum, or language-specific fillers can add levity to internal reviews while still serving as placeholders.
Match the Expected Content Length
Generate placeholder text that approximates the real word count. Too much or too little filler gives a misleading sense of the layout.
