Placeholder Image Generator

A placeholder of the right size lets you check a layout before real images are ready — with correct proportions and dimensions labeled right on the image, so you can orient yourself in the mockup.

How to use it

• Enter a width and height in pixels and a placeholder image is generated instantly with its dimensions labeled.
• Optionally set the background and text color to match the mockup's theme.
• Download the finished image or copy a link to use directly in a src attribute.

Common uses

• Laying out a page before real photos or illustrations arrive from a designer.
• Testing a responsive image grid with various aspect ratios and sizes.
• Demoing a prototype to a client with clear dimensions instead of empty boxes.

Things to keep in mind

SVG placeholders weigh just a handful of bytes regardless of the size you set — the format choice affects how much real weight they add to a page during development.

A placeholder is meant purely for temporary use in development — it must be swapped for a real image before launch.
