Placeholder Image Generator
How it works
Set the width and height, pick a background and text colour, and optionally type custom label text (it defaults to the pixel dimensions). The live preview updates as you type, and the quick presets cover common sizes like ad banners, social cards, avatars and standard web blocks, so you do not have to remember exact pixel counts. Export the result three ways: download a PNG rendered with the Canvas API, download a crisp vector SVG, or copy a base64 data URI to drop the image inline in HTML or CSS without a separate file request. Placeholders earn their keep when you are blocking out a layout, testing a responsive grid, demoing a component, or standing in for artwork that is not ready yet. All rendering happens locally in your browser: no image is uploaded, and DevTools → Network stays empty while you work.
Frequently Asked Questions
What output formats are available?
- Three: PNG (rendered with the Canvas API), SVG (vector), and a base64 data URI you can paste straight into HTML or CSS.
Can I customize the text?
- Yes. The label defaults to the dimensions (a 300 by 250 image reads 300×250) and you can replace it with any text you type.
Is my data stored anywhere?
- No. The image is drawn by JavaScript in your browser tab and nothing is uploaded or saved. DevTools → Network shows no outbound request while you generate or download.
