Lorem Ipsum for Figma — Generate Placeholder Text
Generate Lorem Ipsum text for Figma designs. Control word count, paragraph count, and sentence length — paste directly into Figma text layers and Auto Layout frames.
How to Use Placeholder Text in Figma
Figma has a built-in Lorem Ipsum feature (select a text layer → right-click → "Paste Lorem Ipsum"), but it gives you a fixed block of text with no control over length. Use this generator to get exactly the right amount for each component — 15 words for a subtitle, 50 words for a card body, 300 words for a full article layout.
- Exact word count: Generate precisely 15, 50, or 300 words — match each text layer's realistic content length
- Paragraph control: Generate 1, 3, or 5 paragraphs for different component types
- One-click copy: Paste directly into any Figma text layer, frame, or component
- Auto Layout friendly: Test how your Auto Layout expands with different text lengths by regenerating
- No Figma plugin needed: Browser-based, works alongside any Figma setup

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I paste Lorem Ipsum directly into Figma text boxes?
Yes — copy from the generator and paste into any Figma text layer with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V. For multiple text layers, copy once and paste into each layer individually. Figma also has a built-in shortcut: select a text layer, right-click, then "Paste Lorem Ipsum" inserts a default block. The generator here gives you more control over length and paragraph structure than Figma's built-in option.
How do I test responsive text in Figma with Auto Layout?
Create your text layer inside an Auto Layout frame with "Hug" content sizing on the frame. Paste different amounts of Lorem Ipsum (short: 10 words, medium: 40 words, long: 100 words) to test how the frame resizes. Check that your design handles: (1) very short text without looking empty, (2) very long text without breaking the layout, (3) text with line breaks at natural points. This "content stress test" is most efficient before the component is used across many screens.
Is there a Figma plugin for Lorem Ipsum generation?
Yes — several Figma plugins offer Lorem Ipsum generation directly within the Figma interface. Popular ones include "Lorem Ipsum" by Figma community contributors and "Content Reel" which can populate multiple text layers at once. The advantage of plugins is speed for bulk population. The advantage of a browser-based generator is control over exact word counts and no plugin permissions. For one-off needs, the browser generator is faster to access; for filling 50 card components with consistent text, a plugin wins.
