Frequently Asked Questions
What does Lorem Ipsum mean?▼
Lorem Ipsum is derived from Cicero's philosophical text and means roughly 'pain itself' in Latin. It was intentionally scrambled so it reads as random text without distracting from the design.
Why use Lorem Ipsum instead of real text?▼
Placeholder text prevents designers and reviewers from focusing on content instead of layout. It also avoids confidential or copyrighted content appearing in design mockups.
Is Lorem Ipsum Latin?▼
It is based on Latin but has been scrambled and is not grammatically correct Latin. It is simply used as realistic-looking dummy text.
