Best Figma plugins for dummy text and mock data
Content Reel is the most-used Figma plugin for dummy text, with 1.1M users. It fills layers from shared collections of text strings, images and icons, so a team can publish one set of sample customers or prices and everyone pulls from it. For random realistic names, emails or headlines on the spot, Faker (50K users) is quicker.

Most used
Content Reel
by Eugene Gavriloff
Content Reel lets you browse or search published collections of text strings, images and icons and drop them into your layers, and you can create your own collections to share. It fits teams that want every designer using the same sample products or users. It's free, though a shared collection takes some setting up before it saves time.1.1M 16KFree - #6
Best for quick placeholder text
Faker
by Cory Etzkorn
Select some objects, pick a type such as names, emails, URLs or headlines, and Faker replaces every text node in the selection. It's free and runs in Figma Design and FigJam. It only generates text, so pair it with another plugin for avatars or photos.50K 762Free - #3
Best for real data
JSON to Figma
by Pavel Laptev
JSON to Figma populates layers with text and images from a local JSON file or a URL, and handles JPG, PNG, WEBP, SVG and GIF images. It suits designers whose developers can hand over a JSON export, so screens reflect real record shapes and lengths. Unlike Content Reel and Faker, it's a paid plugin.87K 931Free + $17

Buying guide
What to look for
Figma AI now covers part of this job. Select layers, open the Actions menu with Cmd/Ctrl+K and choose Replace content to swap placeholders for realistic text. Plugins still earn a place when you need the same data every time (a fixed collection, a JSON file, a spreadsheet) or content AI text doesn't give you, like logos, avatars and numbers in a set format.
The top 20 also includes generators for Russian, Chinese and Indian-language text, which are useful for testing how a layout copes with a different script and text length. Our mock data guide walks through the full workflow.
- 01
The data types you need
Names and emails are everywhere. Prices, dates, avatars, company logos and long-tail cases like very long surnames are not, so list the fields in your screens before choosing.
- 02
Random or repeatable
Random data is fine for exploration. For reviews and usability tests you'll want the same records every time, which means a shared collection or a file-based source.
- 03
Filling many layers at once
Check that the plugin fills every selected text layer in one go, including text inside component instances, without detaching them.
- 04
Importing real data
If developers can give you JSON, CSV or a Google Sheet, a plugin that maps fields to layer names gets you screens with production-shaped content.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I add dummy text in Figma?
Select your text layers and use Replace content from the Actions menu (Cmd/Ctrl+K) for AI-generated text, or run a plugin like Faker or Content Reel for structured data such as names and emails. Our Figma mock data guide compares the methods.
What is the best lorem ipsum plugin for Figma?
Lorem ipsum hides problems like long names and short headlines, so most teams now prefer realistic content from Content Reel or Faker. If you do want lorem ipsum, loremipsum and Random Text Generator are both free.
How do I use data from a spreadsheet in Figma?
Spreadsheet Sync pulls from Google Sheets, CSV Populate reads CSV files, and JSON to Figma handles JSON. To bring in a spreadsheet as a table instead, see importing Excel into Figma.
How do I add placeholder logos to a Figma design?
Logoipsum inserts made-up logos, which is the safe choice for anything public. uiLogos inserts real brand logos; check each brand's usage rules before a design using them leaves your team.
Can Figma AI generate placeholder content?
Yes. Replace content in the Actions menu writes realistic text into selected layers, and Make image generates images from a prompt. Results change on every run, so for test data you need to reproduce exactly, use a file-based plugin instead.
