Can You Add Lorem Ipsum in Figma?

Last updated on December 13, 2022 @ 8:28 am

One popular feature of Figma is its ability to generate placeholder text, also known as Lorem Ipsum, for your designs. This article will explain how to add Lorem Ipsum to your Figma design projects.

Step 1: Open Your Figma Project

The first step to adding Lorem Ipsum to your Figma project is to open the project that you want to add it to. To do this, log in to your Figma account, select the project you want to work on, and click the “Open” button in the upper-right corner of the screen.

Step 2: Select Your Artboard

Once your project is open, select the artboard that you want to add Lorem Ipsum to. To do this, click on the artboard in the left-hand sidebar. The artboard should now be highlighted in blue.

Step 3: Add the Text

Now that you have your artboard selected, click on the “Text” tool in the top toolbar. Then, click on the artboard to create a new text box. In the bottom left-hand corner of the text box, click the “Lorem Ipsum” option. This will automatically generate placeholder text in the text box.

Step 4: Edit the Text

Once you’ve added the Lorem Ipsum, you can edit it to fit your design. To do this, select the text box and then click the “Text” tool in the top toolbar. Then, type in your desired text and make any other desired changes. When you’re finished, click the “Save” button in the top toolbar.

PRO TIP: Lorem Ipsum is a dummy text used in publishing and graphic design. It is often used to provide placeholder text in Figma design projects. While it is possible to add Lorem Ipsum text to Figma, it is not recommended as it can interfere with the design process and may lead to errors in the final design.

After following these steps, you will have successfully added lorem ipsum text to your Figma project!
