What is Contentinator?
Contentinator is an AI-powered Figma plugin that helps designers populate their designs with realistic content instead of placeholder text and generic images. The tool uses artificial intelligence to generate realistic text content including articles, blog posts, taglines, emails, names, and FAQs directly within Figma. It also creates high-quality images up to 1024x1024 pixels from text prompts, allowing users to generate textures, stock photos, and illustrations without leaving the design tool.
Key features include smart text generation that can upgrade existing placeholder text or write entire paragraphs, image generation from text prompts, copywriting assistance to expand or condense text, and Google Sheets Sync for data integration. The plugin supports keyboard shortcuts on the Figma canvas using '++' for auto-completion and '==' for text replacement. Version 7 incorporates ChatGPT support for enhanced text creation capabilities, and includes an Image Tracer tool for additional functionality.
Contentinator is ideal for UI/UX designers, product designers, and design teams who need to create prototypes and presentations with lifelike data. It saves designers hours of time by automating content population, stress-testing designs with realistic content, and eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting of lorem ipsum or searching for placeholder images. The tool is particularly valuable for designers creating mockups that need to look authentic for client presentations or user testing.
Contentinator pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Contentinator is available for as little as $5 per month with a one week free trial. Users can save 8% by paying yearly instead of monthly. The plugin uses a usage credits system since AI content generation isn't free - there is a quota for how much you can generate each month. Credit usage: 750 words = 1 credit, and one image = 10 credits. Credits for text generation include both the prompt and generated content. Users can choose a more powerful content generator model that uses 10 credits for roughly every 750 words. The tier can be changed at any point.
