About Image Placeholder Generation

An image placeholder is a temporary image used in design and development to represent a final image before it's available. It helps in visualizing layouts, testing image responsiveness, and demonstrating design without needing actual image assets.

Why Use This Tool?

This Image Placeholder Generator simplifies the creation of custom image placeholders, making your design and development workflow more efficient:

  • Rapid Prototyping: Quickly fill image sections to visualize your design early in the process.
  • Consistent Testing: Use consistent placeholder images to test layout responsiveness and image sizing across different devices.
  • Customization: Specify width, height, colors, and add custom text directly onto the placeholder image.

  • 150×150 (thumbnail), 300×250 (card), 400×300 (content image)
  • 728×90 (banner), 1200×628 (social link), 1080×1080 (square)
