A Sketch plugin for generating dummy data like avatars, names, photos, and geo data directly in your designs.
Content Generator is a Sketch plugin that automatically generates dummy data such as avatars, names, photos, and geographic information for use in design mockups. It solves the problem of manually searching for or creating placeholder content, allowing designers to quickly populate their prototypes with realistic data. The plugin integrates directly into Sketch, streamlining the design workflow and saving time during the prototyping phase.
UI/UX designers and product designers who use Sketch for creating wireframes, mockups, and prototypes and need to fill them with realistic placeholder content.
Developers choose Content Generator because it provides a wide variety of dummy data types directly within Sketch, eliminating the need to switch between applications or manually create placeholder content. Its custom string and image features offer flexibility, making it a versatile tool for enhancing design realism efficiently.
