What is Placeholder Image Generator?

Make simple placeholder images that show their dimensions (like 640×360) or your own label, in any size from 1 to 4000 pixels. Pick the background and text colors and export as PNG, JPEG, WebP or SVG. Images are drawn locally, so you do not depend on a placeholder web service.

When to use Placeholder Image Generator

Use it for wireframes, design mockups, testing responsive layouts and image components, and seeding CMS or e-commerce demos. For realistic previews use real or stock photos; for blurred loading placeholders use a low-resolution version of the actual image instead.

How Placeholder Image Generator works

For PNG, JPEG and WebP the image is painted on an HTML canvas of the requested size: a filled rectangle plus the label centered in Arial, with a font size of one fifth of the shorter side (reduced for long labels so it fits), then exported with canvas.toDataURL. For SVG the tool writes a tiny vector file with a <rect> and a centered <text> element, which stays sharp at any zoom and is usually under 400 bytes.

Common Use Cases

Filling image slots in wireframes and prototypes
Testing aspect ratios and responsive image CSS
Seeding demo products in an online shop
Inlining tiny SVG placeholders as data URIs

FAQs

Which format should I choose?

SVG is the smallest and sharpest for flat placeholders; PNG is best when a raster file is required; JPEG and WebP are useful for testing photo pipelines.
