Lorem Ipsum Text Generator

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is a pseudo-Latin placeholder (dummy or filler) text used in web and graphic design, layout, typography, publishing and printing in place of meaningful content to emphasize design elements over textual content.

Replacing comprehensible content that could be distracting with filler text may allow reviewers to focus on design elements such as font, typography, or page layout.

The lorem ipsum text is typically a scrambled section of de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum by Cicero. Its words and letters have been altered by addition or removal, so as to deliberately render its content nonsensical, improper Latin.

Many desktop publishing programmes and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default filler text. Many variations of Lorem Ipsum text have evolved over the years.

Readable Dummy Texts
Now there are many readable dummy texts usually used purely to fill a space. These alternatives to the classic Lorem Ipsum texts are often amusing and tell short, funny or nonsensical stories.

Standard Lorem Ipsum Text

A common form of lorem ipsum text reads:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Origin of Lorem Ipsum Text

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply scrambled dummy text. The text is derived from sections 1.10.32-33 of de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum (On the Ends of Goods and Evils) by Cicero, written in 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32 (see below).

de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum – Section 1.10.32

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptatem quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt. Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?

de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum
You may find the complete, original text here:
Cicero

English Translation by H Rackham in 1914

But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful. Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure him some great pleasure. To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it? But who has any right to find fault with a man who chooses to enjoy a pleasure that has no annoying consequences, or one who avoids a pain that produces no resultant pleasure?

Lorem Ipsum Text Generator

There are many dummy text generators available on the Internet that help you create Lorem Ipsum text or various other filler texts for all your layout needs. You may build your desired number of Lorem Ipsum paragraphs, words or sentences. You may make your text italic, bold or make an actual HTML paragraph. The generators differ on useful options and functionality. Some of them tend to repeat predefined latin words as necessary while others generate text free from repetition, without any hidden or obscure messages in it.

Warning:
While using Lorem Ipsum, make sure that there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

Here are some examples:

However, after testing all of these we found that they lack features, or are too limited. So, we suggest in our article two Lorem Ipsum Text Generators:

  • Lipsum.pro for its simplicity, and
  • Loripsum.net for its excellent features.

Lorem Ipsum Text Generator
The Lorem Ipsum text generator that doesn’t suck.
Loripsum.net

We recommend Loripsum.net for the following reasons:

  • Customization: Most generators only output paragraphs of about the same length. Sometimes you need lists, headings, long paragraphs, short paragraphs, etc. The website/magazine that you are designing probably isn’t going to be filled with uniform paragraphs, so your placeholder text should reflect that.
  • Same Results: Most generators output the same results, every time you request some text. Loripsum.net uses the full text of Cicero’s de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum to make sure you get a different placeholder text every single time.
  • API: Loripsum.net has an API to generate placeholder text to insert it in whatever software/webapp you want.

  1. I do trust all of the ideas you have offered to your post.
    They’re very convincing and can definitely work.
    Nonetheless, the posts are very short for newbies.
    Could you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.

  2. I think that what you published was very logical. But, what about this?

    what if you composed a catchier title? I mean, I
    don’t wish to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added a title that makes people want more?
    I mean Lorem Ipsum Text Generator | GoldenTwine Informatics
    Blog is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create news headlines
    to get people to open the links. You might add a related video or a pic or
    two to get people excited about everything’ve
    got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit
    more interesting.

  3. Howdy would you mind letting me know which web host you’re working with?

    I’ve loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must
    say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you suggest a good hosting provider at
    a reasonable price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!
