What Is an Image Placeholder Generator?
An image placeholder generator creates lightweight images at any specified dimension — used during development when real images are not yet available. Placeholders show the correct size in the layout, help designers verify spacing, and can be replaced with real assets later without changing the surrounding code.
How to Use
- Enter a width and height, or click a size preset.
- Pick background and text colors, or choose a color scheme preset.
- Optionally enter custom label text (defaults to "W × H").
- Download as SVG or PNG, or copy the HTML
<img>tag / CSS snippet.

FAQ
Can I use these placeholders in production?
They work in production, but they are intended for development. For production, replace them with real images or use a CDN-based placeholder service.
What is the maximum size I can generate?
SVG output has no size limit. PNG export is limited by browser canvas memory — very large dimensions (above 4096×4096) may fail on some devices.
How do I use the data URL in CSS?
Copy the CSS snippet and use it as background-image on any element. The SVG is embedded directly so no external request is made.
