Lorem Ipsum is based on Cicero's De Finibus (45 BC) but scrambled. The word frequencies and letter distribution mimic Latin prose; the specific text is nonsense.

Why not use English placeholder text?

English placeholder text (sample copy) tends to be read for meaning. Lorem Ipsum's foreignness forces designers to evaluate layout and spacing without being distracted by content.

Can I generate by paragraphs vs sentences vs words?

Yes — pick any unit and specify a count. Paragraphs produce 3–8 sentences each; sentences are 8–15 words.

Is there a 'hipster' or 'corporate' variant?

This tool sticks to classic Lorem Ipsum. For themed placeholder text, search for 'hipster ipsum' or 'bacon ipsum' generators.
