Create custom placeholder images for your web projects. Generate images with custom dimensions, colors, and text. Export as PNG, JPG, or WebP.
A placeholder image is a temporary image used in web design and development to represent where an actual image will be placed. They help visualize layouts, test responsive designs, and improve the development workflow before final images are available.
Placeholder images are essential for maintaining design consistency during development. They allow developers to work on layouts without waiting for final assets, help clients visualize the final product, and ensure proper spacing and dimensions are maintained throughout the design process.
Simply set your desired dimensions using the width and height inputs or choose from preset sizes. Customize the background and text colors to match your design. Add custom text or let the tool display dimensions automatically. Finally, select your preferred format and download the image.
Our tool supports three popular image formats: PNG for images requiring transparency and lossless quality, JPG for photographs and complex images with smaller file sizes, and WebP for modern web applications with excellent compression and quality balance.
Placeholder images are commonly used in wireframes and mockups, responsive web design testing, content management systems, lazy loading implementations, and API development where image URLs are needed before actual images are available.
Use dimensions that match your final images to ensure accurate layout testing. Choose colors that contrast well for better visibility during development. Include dimension text to help team members understand image requirements. Consider using consistent color schemes across placeholder images for better organization.
