What is lorem ipsum

Lorem ipsum is scrambled Latin-like placeholder text used in design mockups since the 1500s. It lets viewers judge a layout's look without being distracted by readable content. Real-looking text blocks reveal spacing, rhythm and hierarchy problems that empty boxes hide.

It is derived from Cicero's "De finibus bonorum et malorum", scrambled over centuries until the words lost meaning but kept a natural word-length rhythm.

Tips for better mockups

  • Match real length: generate roughly the word count the final copy will have.
  • Vary paragraph counts across sections so layouts do not look copy-pasted.
  • Replace before shipping: placeholder text in production is the classic mockup tell.
