Placeholder Image Generator
Custom Placeholders in Seconds

A placeholder image is a temporary image used during design and development to represent where real images will go. It typically shows the dimensions (like "800x600") and helps designers and developers visualize layouts before final content is ready. Placeholder images are essential for wireframes, mockups, and frontend development.

You can export placeholder images in PNG, JPEG, and WEBP formats. PNG offers the best quality with transparency support, JPEG provides smaller file sizes with adjustable quality, and WEBP gives the smallest files with excellent quality for modern browsers. Choose the format that best fits your project needs.

Yes! The custom text field lets you add any text to your placeholder image. By default, the tool shows the dimensions (like "800x600"), but you can replace this with custom text like "Product Photo", "Header Image", or any label that helps identify the placeholder's purpose in your design.

You can generate placeholder images up to 5000 x 5000 pixels. This covers virtually all common use cases from small thumbnails to large print designs. Keep in mind that very large images will take longer to generate and result in larger file sizes when downloaded.

Click the "Square" button next to the dimension inputs. This will automatically set the height to match the width, creating a perfect square placeholder. You can also manually enter the same value for both width and height. Square placeholders are commonly used for profile pictures, product images, and Instagram posts.

Yes! Click the "Copy to Clipboard" button to copy the placeholder image directly. You can then paste it into design tools, documents, or image editors without downloading a file first. This feature requires a secure context (HTTPS) and works in modern browsers.

Preset sizes provide quick access to commonly-used image dimensions for social media, ads, and web design. Instead of manually entering dimensions for Open Graph images (1200x630), Instagram posts (1080x1080), or banner ads (300x250), simply click a preset button to instantly set those dimensions. This saves time and ensures you're using the correct sizes for each platform.

No. All image generation happens 100% client-side in your browser using the Canvas API. Your placeholder images are never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere except your device. The tool works completely offline after the page loads. Your settings and images remain completely private.
