Lorem Ipsum Generator FAQ

What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text derived from Cicero's 'de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum', a philosophical work from 45 BC. The scrambled version has been used as typesetting filler since the 1500s and is recognised worldwide as dummy text, so it doesn't distract readers from evaluating a design's layout.

Is the text randomised on each generation?
Yes. The generator draws from a bank of standard Lorem Ipsum sentences and randomises their order, so each generation produces slightly different output. The classic opening, if enabled, is always fixed.

What does the Bytes option do?
Bytes mode generates text to a precise character (byte) count. Useful when you need to fill a fixed-length field, test a database column limit, or match a character budget for UI copy.

Can I start with the classic Lorem ipsum opening?
Yes. Toggle the 'Start with Lorem ipsum…' option to begin the output with the traditional opening sentence that designers and clients immediately recognise as placeholder text.

Is any data sent to a server?
No. All text generation happens entirely in your browser using a built-in sentence bank. Nothing is transmitted to any server.

What is Lorem Ipsum used for?
Designers use Lorem Ipsum to fill page layouts during the design and prototyping phase, before real copy is written. It allows stakeholders to evaluate visual design without being distracted by reading actual content.

How is this different from lipsum.com?
Kordu's generator adds Bytes mode for precise character-count output, live word and character counts below the output, and a cleaner ad-free interface. Core functionality is equivalent.

Can I generate Lorem Ipsum in HTML format?
The generator outputs plain text. For HTML-wrapped output, paste the result into a markdown or HTML editor and wrap in paragraph tags. This keeps the tool fast and format-agnostic.

Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the generator works without an internet connection — all generation happens in your browser.

Background

Lorem Ipsum has been the design industry's standard placeholder text since the 1500s. When you need dummy copy to fill a layout without distraction, this generator produces it instantly — no ads, no signup, no rate limits.

Choose your output type: paragraphs (for body copy blocks), sentences (for captions or list items), words (for headlines or labels), or bytes (precise character budgets). Set any count from 1 to 100 and toggle whether to start with the classic "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit…" opening that designers immediately recognise as placeholder text.

The generator draws from the standard Lorem Ipsum corpus and randomises sentence order on each generation, so repeat runs produce varied output. Live word and character counts let you verify length before copying. One-click copy puts the text straight onto your clipboard.

Who is this for? UI/UX designers filling wireframes, front-end developers testing layouts, print designers mocking up magazines, and content teams showing stakeholders page structure before final copy is written.

Competitors like lipsum.com offer basic generation — Kordu adds byte output, live counts, and a cleaner interface with no interstitial ads.
