Placeholder Image Generator

Create placeholder images of any size with custom colours and text, as PNG, JPG, WebP or SVG.

What is a placeholder image?

A placeholder image is a simple temporary graphic, usually showing its own dimensions, used in website mock-ups and prototypes until the real image is ready.

How to use

  1. Enter the width and height in pixels (up to 4000 × 4000).
  2. Choose background and text colours, and optional custom text.
  3. Download the image or copy the SVG code.

The SVG version is tiny and can be pasted directly into HTML, so mock-ups load instantly without any external placeholder service.
