In the developer's words

Impress stakeholders. Improve UX. Stress-test designsm and Unleash the Power of AI Content Generation in Figma.
New: Watch the overview video!
We all know placeholder content creates problems. While using Lorem Ipsum or other sample content seems quick and easy, it often leads to broken experiences and frustrating re-designs. Why collaborate around pretend sample content, when your real content can be right there for you?
Unfortunately, using real content in designs has been hard. Without RealContent, finding and adding appropriate example content involves logging into other systems, searching public facing sites, and lots of copying and pasting. Things get missed, content changes, and all of a sudden great example text… isn’t.
With RealContent, it is easy to drop live content directly into Figma. Content gets sourced straight out of your Google Sheets or your content management system! (The current version supports Contentful, Kontent.ai, and more content management systems are being added based on user demand.)
And best of all, user experiences get more real and more connected. With RealContent in designs, teams open up powerful new workflows for collaboration around content-driven customer experience.
Elevate your design process with the power of AI. The AI content generation features in RealContent allows Content and Visual designers to quickly and easily generate high-quality content on the fly when the content needed is not ready in the CMS. Simply drag and drop content pieces into your design for a seamless workflow. Say goodbye to the frustration of searching for the perfect content, and hello to more time for creativity.
