Placeholder Text for Figma

Copy plain text, paste it straight into any text layer

Figma text layers accept plain text pasted from the clipboard — no plugin, no import step. Generate the length you need below, hit copy, and paste it directly into your design.

Workflow

1. Set the Format to Plain Text

Figma text layers don't render HTML or Markdown — pasting either will show the raw tags instead of formatted text. Keep the format dropdown on "Plain Text".

2. Match Count to the Layer

Use words for labels and buttons, sentences for short descriptions, paragraphs for body copy and long-form sections.

3. Copy and Paste

Use Ctrl+K to copy from the generator, then paste directly into the selected Figma text layer.

Figma Plugins vs. a Plain Generator

Figma's Community directory has several Lorem Ipsum plugins that generate text inside the canvas directly. They're convenient if you're already deep in a file and don't want to alt-tab out. A standalone generator works just as well for most workflows and needs nothing installed into your Figma account — useful if you're designing on a machine where you can't add plugins, or just prefer copy-paste.
