How it works
-
Type the size
Width and height from 1 to 4000 px — or one click on the ready-made ratios: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 and banner.
-
Adjust color and text
Pick the background and text colors. An empty text field shows the size (e.g. 600×400); the preview changes live as you edit.
-
Pick the format and download
PNG, JPG or SVG — the file comes out at the exact size, named like placeholder-600x400.png, straight from your browser.
Frequently asked questions
What is a placeholder image for?
To hold the spot for the final artwork: building a site layout, testing an email template, filling an image slot in a prototype. You see the real space without waiting for the final material.
What is the maximum size?
From 1 to 4000 px on each side. Beyond that the tool warns you — the limit keeps generation instant on any device.
PNG, JPG or SVG — which one?
SVG is tiny and scales without quality loss — great for development. PNG is the general pick. JPG only when the receiving system accepts nothing else.
What text shows on the image?
By default, the dimensions (e.g. 600×400) — handy to check the space at a glance. You can replace it with any text; the font size adjusts itself to fit.
Does it work offline?
It does. Once the page loads, generation is fully local — turn off Wi-Fi and keep downloading placeholders.
Does any data leave my browser?
No. There is not even an upload here: the image is born inside your browser and goes straight to the download.
